CFD Simulation of Two-Phase Separation in a Liquid Flash Drum

The performance of a two-phase separator is critical to oil and gas production companies. Liquid flash drum is used as a two-phase separator in oil and gas plants to separate homogeneous hydrocarbon mixtures. The purpose of this study is to determine the separation efficiency of a liquid flash drum...
