2 Phase Relief Calculations Spreadsheet: Basis General Data

This spreadsheet calculates relief parameters for a two-phase relief scenario based on API RP 520 Part I Appendix D. It contains input values such as set pressure, relief temperature, densities, and flow rates. The calculations determine the critical flow pressure, mass flux, and required relief valve area. The results indicate the required area is 32.32 in2 and recommend installing multiple pressure safety valves.
