Erosional Velocity Ratio Calculation

Vactual
EVR = (1)
Vmax
Maximum erosional velocity is calculated using the API R14E expression which is as follows,
C
Vmax = (2)
ρ mix
(ρ gU sg ) + [ρ l (U sl + U sd )]
ρ mix =
Where,
(U sg + U sl + U sd ) (3)

C = 121.99 [Valid for fluid without sand]

ρ g = Density of Gas [kg/m3]
ρ l = Density of Liquid [kg/m3]
U sg = Superficial Gas velocity [m/s]

U sl = Superficial liquid velocity [m/s]

U sd = Superficial droplet Velocity [m/s]
