I'm really just trying to conceptualize vapour compression for use as a reboiler in distillations, and had some mind blocks when it came to compression of the saturated vapour. You guys have been a lot of help!
So is it possible at all to condense a gas by increasing the pressure past the saturation pressure? i.e. Is it physically possible to isothermally compress a gas using standard compressors?
When compressing a saturated gas, what happens exactly?
The temperature must rise to keep it at a saturated state - but what keeps the gas from simply condensing instead of the temperature increasing?
When designing a gas distribution header system, does the order at which users are put in the line affect the system? This may be a stupid question... I'm not sure.
I am thinking that because the pressure in the header is controlled upstream of the users, it doesn't matter what flow rate each...
Hello everyone,
I am a new chemical engineering grad and trying to work my way through some of my first line sizing calculations.
I was hoping someone could clarify for me the difference between dynamic and static pressure, and how the two are calculated.
Also, how is the static pressure of a...
First you should consider caustic
injection at the crude after the
desalter. This will reduce the
amount of chlorides at the boot
of the overhead drum. You can
use both NH3 and filming amines
and target for a pH at the water
that your chemical vendor will
suggest. The tip of the story is
to use...
