    Flare Stack Calculation Sheet: Brzustowski and Sommer's Approach

    Uploaded by

    Martin Danze
    This document provides information to calculate flare stack emissions including mass flow rates, temperatures, pressures, flare tip characteristics, combustion properties, and safety distances. It details the fluid properties and operating conditions for a gas stream consisting primarily of methane with some heavier hydrocarbons. Calculations are shown to determine the lower explosive limit concentration, heat liberated, safe distances from the flare, and thermal radiation levels at different distances from the stack.
