Abstract
The operation safety of depressurizing a high-pressure gas-filled vess el is of crucial importance in petroleum, chemical and biological proc essing industries. The present study describes a simple model of a slo w depressurization process and derives its analytical solution in a re currence form. This analytical solution is expected to be useful for e ngineering applications and for the assessment of either detailed nume rical simulations or experimental data.
