    The document provides sizing calculations for a blowdown drum. It determines that for a blowdown flow of 63,000 kg/hr at 170.4 deg C and 700 kPa, a blowdown drum with a diameter of 444.72653 mm and length of 37.695075 m is required to store 5,250 kg for 5 minutes if the outlet becomes blocked.

    Original Description:

    THis calculation sheet has been made by me. THis is to carry out blowdown vessel sizing based on velocity & flowrate. It also depends on the upstream pressure and control valve downstream pressure. It is presumed that basics of expansion due to sudden drop in pressure is well understood.
