Sources

Specify the required flow.

Specify the required flow.

Relief Valves

Size the relief valve by selecting a relief valve orifice letter designation.

Calculate the back pressure based on the downstream piping.

Calculate the required fraction of relief valve capacity.

Pipes

Calculate the required nominal pipe size.

Calculate the downstream pressure.

Set the inside diameter based on the nominal pipe size.

Calculate the upstream pressure from the flow.

Check for choked flow.

Mixers

Set the outlet pressure to the minimum inlet pressures.

Set all inlet and outlet pressures to be the same pressure.

Converter

Convert the Compositional fluid to a FlareGas fluid based on the temperature, molecular weight, and Cp/Cv ratio.
