✦ Synopsis

This chapter presents some miscellaneous topics and some summary of the previous chapters in the book. Some of these topics would be appended to other chapters, but they cover more than a single topic.

13.1 Rules of Thumb

In the preceding chapters, details were presented for estimating the physical properties of acid gas, and procedures were presented for designing the equipment required. Note that in this section some of the conversions are not exact because of the approximate nature of the information presented. Although some of the rules of thumb presented in this section are general in nature, the reader is wise to apply them only to acid gas systems.

13.1.1 Physical Properties

The following are some rules of thumb for the physical properties of compressed acid gas:

1. Pure C0 2 at 10°C and 7 MPa (50°F and 1000 psia) has a density of 900 kg/m 3 (56 lb/ft 3 ) and a viscosity 0.09 mPa-s (0.09 cp)
