For liquid full systems expansion rates for the sizing of relief devices that protect against thermal expansion of the trapped
liquids can be approximated using the following equations. This does not account for the vapourisation of liquids.

Notes:
1. Minimum water supply temperature
2. Maximum ambient temperature (refer Process Design Basis)
3. Assuming 51.3 m length of 8" (0.2032 m) Water Injection manifold exposed to solar radiation,
surface area = π x 0.2032 x 51.3 = ~ 32.7 m2.
4. Assuming Solar Radiation intensity as 1.04 kW/m2,
Total Heat Transfer Rate = Solar Radiation Intenisty x Surface Area exposed = 1.04 x32.7 = 34 kW.
