INPUT DATA API 521

Fuel Properties Enviromental Properties

Name= HC Vapors Compressibility factor
Molecular Weight Z= 1.00
PM= 20.960 kg/kmol Wind Velocity
Flowing Temperature Uw= 10.00 m/s
Ts= 358.00 K Atmospheric Pressure
Pressure within the flare tip Pa= 0.10 MPa
Ps= 98.769 KPa Fraction of heat radiated
Heat of Combustion F= 0.190
∆Hc= 41.50 MJ/kg Radiant heat intensity
Mass Flow Rate K= 3.150 kW/m2
m= 148,023 kg/h Relative Humedity
RH= 100 %
Diameter of the Flare Ambient Temperature
d= 0.597 Ta= 293.000 K
