Dmax is the upper particle size limit for each of the laws. Kcr is the critical constant for maximum particle size (from GPSA Handbook). Vt is the settling velocity in m/s.

1. Maximum allowable vapour velocity is calculated from the equation: VMAX
=
K [ (ρL - ρV) / ρV ] 0.5
2. 150 mm minimum. 3. Space for instrument nozzles and/or emergency liquid capacity - minimum 150 mm. 4. 60% of vessel diameter or 750mm whichever is greater. 5. twice inlet nozzle diameter. 3 6 .Semi-ellipsoidal end-volume is calculated using the formula V = (Π x (ID) )/24 which applies to one end only of the separator (ie. the bottom). Hemispherical end-volume for one dished end is calculated using the formula: V = (P x (ID)3 )/12 Information taken from GPSA handbook Sections SI - 6, and in particular, figs. 6.21&6.22
