Hello,
I want to discuss some things about vortex breaker device installed at the fuel and oxidizer tank outlet. I have to do a study project in which I am supposed to add this device on outlet of a tank which is 200mm. I wanted to know that is there a thumb rule for device height; while device vanes are usually mentioned as 2/3 of the outlet diameter, how much should be the height of the vanes (or baffles)? The mass flow rate through this drain is 130 kg/s and the density is 780 kg/m3. Based on the formula (S = D +2.3 D Fr), this gives the submereged depth of 1.9 m. The tank height is 5 m. Isnt it too much height for a vortex device compared to tank height?
Please help
Regards,
SJ
