SRV Calculation PDF

This document provides calculations to size a safety relief valve for a liquid ammonia storage vessel. It includes: 1) Calculation of the wetted surface area of the vessel, which is 460.47 square feet. 2) Calculation of the total heat absorption of 3206572.11 BTU/hr based on the wetted surface area. 3) Calculation of the required vapor discharge capacity of 7287.66 pounds per hour based on the heat absorption. 4) Calculation of the required effective discharge area of the safety relief valve as 2.13 square centimeters based on standard equations using properties of ammonia.
