This is a fairly simple problem; merely the first step in sizing a vertical separator. That is, to calculate the vessel diameter based on gas capacity. I'll add in the other steps on some other practice problem set, as this is a low-priority study area considering horizontal separators are far more common.
A slight wrinkle (there's always one of those, right?) is needing to calculate the density of the gas and oil first. Needed constants: page 190 of the Reference.
Can you explain how you calculated the density of the gas?
