Pump Separator Sizing

[airryda]

Hello all,
I'm new to this site, so I looking forward to learn much from everyone.

I'm writing a program that would size a pump separator vessel. part of the process, i have to calculate the separation area required. I'm looking for the exact formula. I had it once, but i lost my other program.

So, any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you think there's another program that would do the same thing, please let me know.

Thanks,

Airryda
