Gas capacity of separator

Input(s)

Ks\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{s}}: Separator Coefficient (ft/s)(\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s})

d\mathrm{d}: Total Internal Diameter of Separator (ft)(\mathrm{ft})

F: Fraction of Total Area Available to Gas (fraction)

z: Compressibility Factor (dimensionless)

P: Separation Pressure (psi)

Ps\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{s}}: Base Pressure (psi)

T\mathrm{T}: Absolute Separation Temperature (K) Ts\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{s}}: Base Temperature (K)(\mathrm{K})

ρ1\rho_{1}: Liquid Density (g/cc)(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})

ρg\rho_{\mathrm{g}}: Gas Density (g/cc)(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})

Output(s)

qsq_{s}: Gas Rate (ft3/d)\left(\mathrm{ft}^{3} / \mathrm{d}\right)

Formula(s)

qs=67824 Ks( d2) F(1z)(PPs)(TsT)(ρlρgρg)0.5\mathrm{q}_{\mathrm{s}}=67824 * \mathrm{~K}_{\mathrm{s}} *\left(\mathrm{~d}^{2}\right) * \mathrm{~F} *\left(\frac{1}{\mathrm{z}}\right) *\left(\frac{\mathrm{P}}{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{s}}}\right) *\left(\frac{\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{s}}}{\mathrm{T}}\right) *\left(\frac{\rho_{\mathrm{l}}-\rho_{\mathrm{g}}}{\rho_{\mathrm{g}}}\right)^{0.5}
