- Abstract
- Orifices are used in many cases to discharge carbon dioxide from piping systems to the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide in the piping systems may be present as a saturated liquid, a saturated vapor, or a two phase mixture of these two phases. The two-phase mixtures may be composed of various fractions by weight of liquid and vapor. The orifices may consist of holes drilled in plates or discharge devices. The orifices usually have square or sharp edge inlets. However, in some cases the orifice inlets are well rounded. In these cases the orifices could be considered as nozzles.
