Volume in LPG Bullet

The document calculates the dead volume of an LPG bullet. It determines the vapor mass is 2.34 million tons by calculating the vapor density and multiplying by the vapor volume of 99 cubic meters. It also states the non-pumpable volume is 1.66 million tons. Therefore, the total dead volume is the sum of the vapor and non-pumpable volumes, which is calculated to be 4 million tons.

LPG Bullet Dead Volume = LPG Bullet Vapour Mass + Non Pumpable

Lpg vapour mass in kg. = Vap. Volume x vap density

Vapour volume = 99 m3

Lpg vapour density. In kg/m3

= Ts x Pv x Mm / Tv x Ps x I

Ts is standard temperature of 288 K

Pv is absolute pressure of vapour space in bars = 165 psia = 11.56 bar

Mm is molecular mass of vapour mixture in Kg/Kmol (sometimes called molecular weight)

Butane C4H10 = 58 kg/kgmol (70 %) = 0.7 x 58 = 40.6


Propane C3H8 = 44.1 kg/kg mol (30 %) = 0.3 x 44.1 = 13.23
----------
Mm = Average molecular wt. = 53.83 Kg/Kg mol

Tv is average temperature of vapour in K = 110 F = 316 K

Ps is standard pressure of 1.013 bar

I is ideal gaseous molar volume at standard temperature (288K) and standard pressure (1.013 bar). This
is 23.645 m³ / Kmo1).

Lpg vap. Density = (288 x 11.56 x 53.83) / (316 x 1.013 x 23.645) = 179215.14 / 7568.95 = 23.67 kg/m3

LPG vapors in empty Bullet = LPG vap volume X LPG vap density

= 99 m3 x 23.67 kg/m3

LPG vapors in empty Bullet = 2343 kg = 2.34 M Ton

Non pumpable = 1.66 M ton

Dead volume = 2.34 + 1.66 = 4 M ton
