If you're really interested, John Zinc used to have a one week class on Flare System design which was quite good and covered all the bases. They may have a variety of technical data and papers on their website but I'm not sure. Check out API 537 "Flare Details for General Refinery and Petrochemical Service" as it will have a lot of good reading as well.
