The purpose of Fluid Flow mode is to determine PSV back pressures at relieving conditions. In Fluid Flow mode, all of the mixers provide a pressure balance and pipes use their nominal pipe inside diameter. We make the following assumptions:
-
As in Process mode, we specify the flow at each source.
-
We calculate the relief valve back pressure based on the flare stack pressure at atmospheric pressure.
