RELIEF VALVE DISCHARGE CALCULATION
D-400 REACTOR
6:15 P. M. - JANUARY 19, 1980
FROM: Farris Relief Valve Catolog No. FE336, Page 3.3
24.3 Vj.25 (P1-P2) " Kp Kg Ku
Where: A = Orifice Area (In.2), Q Orifice = 11.05 In.2
= Liquid capacity in l.S. gallons per minute.
Pi = Set pressure at inlet, psig = 185
= Back pressure at outlet, psig = 0
Kp = Overpressure sizing factor, 1% overpressure (From: Farris Book Page 3.7) = 0.07.
Kg = Sizing factor for specific gravity
*
G = Specific Gravity Ku = Viscosity correction factor from curve on Page 3.8 = 1.0 Temperature of reactor at time of release = 109F. Reactor contained 34% Vinyl Chloride by volume. Specific Gravity of water @ 10SF = 0.99. Specific Gravity of Vinyl Chloride @ 109F = 0.87. Specific Gravity of Mixture = (0.34)(0.87) + (0.66)(0.99)
