I am trying to design a Kettle Reboler for a Demethanizer where the liquid entering will have to raise its temperature by around 15C due to the flasing of almost 3% of its mass. The liquid composition is Methane, Ethane and Propane (basically).
The heat experts that I have consulted are...
Probably the best but not the most economic solution is trying some simulation tool like PIPESYS, PROFES, HYSYS 3.0.1 that calculate transient pressures/flow.
I really admire your effort in dealing yourself with a spreadsheet.
Good Luck and best regards
fdomin, I am engaged in the same problem about predicting a slug catcher after running HYSYS / PIPESYS software.
Then I will appreciate very much if you can send me the GPSA article you have mentiones above.

zdas04 could you provide a little more detail in the "dry gas" term..please.... I deal with a retrogade gas condensation fluid in a 200 km 16 inches pipeline and I will like to use your 36 ft/sec term...
I am looking for a CO2 partial pressure vs. corrosion levels similar to the one thai I have found fot the H2S where there is a line that states the maximum pressure level to admisible corrosion...
I have looked for the Gas Processors (GPSA) books... without sucess.. Ihave no acces to NACE...
