Tube rupture contingency

The following points need to be considered in quantifying the tube rupture contingency ... [Pg.299]

To calculate the flow rate for tube rupture contingency, it is first required to establish the critical downstream pressure by using the following equations ... [Pg.301]

Complete tube rupture, in which a large quantity of high pressure fluid will flow to the lower pressure exchanger side, is a remote but possible contingency... [Pg.30]

Both transient and steady-state situations need to be considered. In some cases, the transient situation may result in a controlling contingency e.g., gas in the high-pressure side and liquid in the low-pressure side in other cases, the steady-state contingency may do so. The transient state is the state just after the tube rupture, and any steady state is a stable flow after the transient phase is over. [Pg.299]

The following procedure can be followed in calculating the steady-state contingency of tube rupture. The calculation procedure is different for compressible and noncompressible flow. [Pg.299]
