    The document provides calculations to determine the required diameter (Dv) of a vertical separator given input data on steam flow rates, operating pressure, holdup time, and densities from steam tables. It calculates the settling velocity (ut) using the densities of the liquid and vapor phases, and then uses the vapor flow rate and ut to determine Dv. It also factors in a margin of safety if a demister is not used, and provides the resulting calculated diameter and vessel dimensions.
