Allowable gas velocity through gas separator
Input(s)
\(K_{s}\): Empirical Gas Constant \((\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s})\)
\(\rho_{l}\): Liquid Density \((\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})\)
\(\rho_{g}\): Gas Density \((\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})\)
Output(s)
v: Allowable Gas Velocity (ft/s)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{v}=\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{s}} *\left(\frac{\rho_{\mathrm{l}}-\rho_{\mathrm{g}}}{\rho_{\mathrm{g}}}\right)^{0.5}
\]
