Questions and Answers

A: The 0.35–0.5 ft/s superficial gas velocity limit is what bites here. Pushing pressure up raises gas density, but Aspen’s default separator sizing doesn’t auto-correct for velocity unless geometry changes. Increasing diameter attacks the velocity term directly; the other moves either mask the symptom or add non-physical behavior that worsens entrainment.

A: The 65 barg versus 66 bara distinction is the trap. API 520 vapor density uses absolute pressure and the EOS Z-factor. Dropping Z or pulling a two-phase density shifts area by double digits, which is how PSV undersizing sneaks in.

A: That ±20% band with flat feed points to control, not thermodynamics. The hidden threshold is holdup-to-controller gain; when it’s ignored, the valve hunts even with perfect property methods.

A: That 1 mol% CO2 bump shifts heat release sharply. Circulation rate is the lever that controls bulge position; pressure or solver changes don’t fix the energy balance driving the profile.
