3.1 Determining the ideal vent surface
The ideal vent area is the area of an orifice assimilated to an ideal frictionless nozzle, enabling the enclosure to be protected in the event of a runaway reaction, regardless of the vent lines installed downstream of the orifice. Determination of the ideal vent surface is based on a material balance represented by Boyle's formula already presented in .
