Process Equipment and Plant Design
A cylinderical pressure vessel of volume 6 πm³ has to be designed to withstand a maximum internal pressure of 10 atm. The allowable design stress of the material is 125N/mm² and corrosion allowance is 2 mm. The thickness of the vessel for a length/diameter ratio of 3 will be close to
Providing a higher skirt clearance or a higher weir
All of these
Using split flow, radial flow or cascade flow for column diameter large than 4 ft
Decreasing the number of rows of caps through which the liquid flows or by decreasing the velocity of liquid flow past the caps or by reducing the distance along the tray through which the liquid must
