Abstract
The following material is intended for use only with single phase systems. It should not be used for systems that are simultaneously discharging vapors and liquids. Such systems involve complex two-phase flow calculations, which are beyond the scope of this work. In fact, the entire area of emergency relief systems is undergoing study which will result in changes in the calculational procedures. This work is being done by the Design Institute for Emergency Relief Systems (DIERS) sponsored by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.
