A Design Method of Supersonic Separator Used in Natural Gas Liquefaction Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

It is feasible to obtain low temperature that can liquefy the natural gas using supersonic separator in a liquefaction process. This paper represented a design method of the supersonic separator used in natural gas liquefaction plant, including the design of the Laval nozzle, the design of the rectifier straight segment and the design of the diffuser segment. The size of each part and the appropriate shape can be gotten by the theoretical calculation. The design results of an experiment liquefaction device using supersonic separator is given. The work is helpful for the natural gas transportation in remote and low production gas field.
