Dear all,
Please help me. I have an issue with basics.
Problem follows:
--------------------------------------
Make a spreadsheet for the sizing of relief valve for commercial LPG bullet (mainly propane) using API 520. Temperature of atmosphere where the bullet is kept (above ground) varies from 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F).
-----------------------------------
Which procedure in API 520 should I use?
>procedure for liquid OR
>the procedure for vapor-liquid?
As u know, in API 520, different procedures are given for - critical, sub-critical flow, liquid relief, sizing for two phase liquid or vapor etc. So I am confused:-(
The LPG bullet would be filled 85% of their water capacity, the remaining space being taken up with vapor (as I read from some websites).
(I already made the spreadsheet for various conditions given in API 520. But I need to choose which procedure to use specifically for LPG bullet )
If I haven't given enough info to solve the problem, please let me know.
