Crest height calculation

The crest height is similar to the height of water overflowing a dam. It is calculated from... 

For vertical walls, transmission is primarily governed by the relative crest height with little or no effect of wave period or steepness. A simple vertical structure has been used as an example with Hm0,i = 3 m. Overtopping and wave transmission are compared in Fig. 14.12, where in the calculations the crest height has been changed to calculate wave transmission as well as wave overtopping. 

Experimental data show that, due to the interrupted nature of the discharge weir, the calculated value of crest height needs to be increased by 35% for axial flow and 90% for helical flow. With a 360° internal weir. B would be the full circumference, and thus would cause the least cresting. 

To select the hole area. I ll first calculate the weight of liquid on the tray. This consists of two parts the weir height and the crest height. 

The value of weir height crest may be calculated from the Francis weir equation and its modifications for various weir types. For a segmental weir and for height in millimeters of clear liquid,... 

Height of crest over weir ha, which can be calculated by Eq. (13). 

To derive the equation that is used to calculate the flow in rectangular weirs, refer to Figure 3.2. As shown, the weir height is P. The vertical distance from the tip of the crest to the surface well upstream of the weir at point 1 is designated as H. H is called the head over the weir. 

Nedkvitne et al. (1993) calculated, based on mercury injection capillary pressure data, the petroleum column height needed for oil to penetrate into openings and cavities in water wetting minerals. An oil column of 5 m is sufficient to force oil into 5 pm cavities which are typically observed at the interface between the detrital and the authigenic mineral as along the dust rim on quartz (cf. Fig. 20). From this it is gathered that the increased invasion of oil into smaller porosities which exist in the top of an oil column may provide the mechanism we believe to be necessary for getting oil into the intimate contact with the minerals needed to produce more effective inclusion formation. It was concluded by Nedkvitne et al. (1993) that this was the reason why there tend to be more petroleum inclusions towards the crests of traps. 

The tray hydraulics supplies equations to calculate the liquid molar hold-up from geometry, as well as for coupling the pressure drop with vapour and liquid tray flows. The following relations hold for sieve trays. The liquid flow rate over a wire crest of length W and height is given by the formula (Francis) ... 

The weir height, is the actual height of the weir. The minimum weir height is 0.5 inch with 2 to 4 inches more common. The weir must be high enough that the opposite downcomer remains sealed and always retains liquid. The height of the liquid crest over the weir, h(,j.est can be calculated from the Francis weir equation.
