Vertical Separator Sizing

The document provides information to size a vertical separator including gas and liquid flow rates, densities, temperature, pressure, drop size, viscosity, and retention time. It then calculates the separator dimensions including diameter, height, seam to seam length, and slenderness ratio using formulas from a book on separator sizing. The drag coefficient is also iteratively calculated.
