Suppose we have fluid in a vessel (Vessel A) with inside Pressure 120 bar (achieved by a pump)… When we open the valve, the fluid starts to flow into another vessel (vessel B) that was hitherto empty... Due to the Pressure gradient, the fluid flows with a certain velocity into vessel B. But the pressure difference would gradually decrease as the system tries to maintain equilibrium, hence the velocity would also decrease.
1. Is there a way in which when I open the valve, the fluid will flow with a constant velocity into the other tank for a specified period of time?
2. When I open the valve, the temperature drops suddenly, due to Joule Thomson effect… How can I calculate and control that?
3. What can I do if I want to maintain the Pressure in Vessel A above 100 bar at all times, while the Pressure in vessel B should not exceed 40 bar. I also want to maintain temperatures in both vessels at a specified value.
4. The fluid flowing from Vessel A to B is super critical CO2 that is carrying oil with it. The intention is to bring the Pressure and Temperature in vessel B, anywhere below critical of CO2 (i.e. 31 C and 74 bar)… How should I design that separator? Should Vessel B be a two phase flash separator or should it be a hydro cyclone separator? Any idea, which one would be better?
