Two-Phase Flow Relief based on Homogenous Equilibrium Model (HEM ) Method

The two phase fluid is flashed at constant entropy using Hysys Simulation Software at various pressures.

The pressure is varied from the relieving pressure to the PSV throat pressure.
The two phase fluid is assumed to be at its bubble point at the PSV inlet (ie. Vapor Pressure = Inlet Pressure).

Total Two Phase Required Relief Rate = 44,815 kg/h

Total No. of Operating PSVs = 1
Individual PSV Two Phase Required Relief Rate = 44,815 kg/h
