Internal diameter of gas separator

Input(s)

m: Mass Flow Rate $(\mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{h})$

$\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{s}}$: Separator Coefficient $(\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{h})$

F: Fraction of Separator Available for Gas (fraction)

$\rho_{1}$: Liquid Density $(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})$

$\rho_{\mathrm{g}}$: Gas Density $(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})$

Output(s)

$\mathrm{d}$: Internal Diameter $(\mathrm{ft})$

Formula(s)

$$ \mathrm{d}=\frac{0.0188 *\left(\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{F} * \mathrm{~K}_{\mathrm{s}}}\right)^{0.5}}{\left(\frac{\rho_{\mathrm{l}}-\rho_{\mathrm{g}}}{\rho_{\mathrm{g}}}\right)^{0.25}} $$
