Uv = 1.74 m s-1
Vapour Flowrate = 0.99 m3 s-1
Vapour Flow Area = 0.57 m2

With vapour area occupying half the drum area, the drum diameter, Dd, is:
Dd = 1.20 m

If a drum diameter of 1.65 m is assumed, the liquid area, A1, is:

A1 = 1.57 m2

The drum length, L, can then be calculated:

L = 5.09 m

L/D ratio to be between 3 and 5

L/D = 3.09 OK

Resulting in Tank of 5.09 m. long with a diameter of 1.65 m.
