    Flare Calc Sheet API RP 521

    Uploaded by

    Clarence AG Yue
    This document contains calculations for a flare stack using two different approaches: 1. A simple approach that calculates parameters such as flow rate, mass flow, molecular weight, pressure, temperature, and flare tip velocity. It determines the flame length, fraction of radiated heat, and safe distance to the flame center. 2. Brzustowski's and Sommer's approach that also considers additional parameters like air temperature, sonic velocity, LEL concentration factor, and horizontal and vertical distances from the stack to the flame center. Both approaches are based on API RP 521 standards.
