Average Specific Pressure Drop Given Top Bed Pressure Drop and Bottom Bed Pressure Drop Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Average Pressure Drop = ((0.5*(Top Bed Pressure Drop)^0.5)+(0.5*(Bottom Bed Pressure Drop)^0.5))^2
ΔP = ((0.5*(ΔP_top)^0.5)+(0.5*(ΔP_Bottom)^0.5))^2
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Average Pressure Drop - (Measured in Pascal) - Average Pressure Drop refers to the average decrease in pressure experienced by a fluid as it flows through the column packing.
Top Bed Pressure Drop - (Measured in Pascal) - Top Bed Pressure Drop refers to the pressure drop experienced by the fluid as it flows through the upper section or bed of packing material near the top of the column.
Bottom Bed Pressure Drop - (Measured in Pascal) - Bottom Bed Pressure Drop refers to the pressure drop experienced by the fluid as it flows through the lower section or bed of packing material near the bottom of the column.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Top Bed Pressure Drop: 0.89713 Pascal --> 0.89713 Pascal No Conversion Required
Bottom Bed Pressure Drop: 0.91874 Pascal --> 0.91874 Pascal No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

ΔP = ((0.5*(ΔP_top)^0.5)+(0.5*(ΔP_Bottom)^0.5))^2 --> ((0.5*(0.89713)^0.5)+(0.5*(0.91874)^0.5))^2

Evaluating ... ...

ΔP = 0.907902852280476

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.907902852280476 Pascal --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.907902852280476 ≈ 0.907903 Pascal <-- Average Pressure Drop

What is Top Bed Pressure Drop?

In a packed column, the "top bed pressure drop" refers to the pressure drop experienced by the fluid as it flows through the upper section or bed of packing material near the top of the column. The top bed pressure drop is a specific component of the overall pressure drop in the column and is typically considered separately due to its location in the column.
The pressure drop in the top bed is influenced by several factors, including the type of packing material, packing geometry, fluid properties, and the flow rates of the gas (vapor) and liquid phases. The packing in the top bed introduces resistance to the flow, leading to a pressure drop as the fluid traverses this section of the column.

What is Bottom Bed Pressure Drop?

In a packed column, the "bottom bed pressure drop" refers to the pressure drop experienced by the fluid as it flows through the lower section or bed of packing material near the bottom of the column. Similar to the top bed pressure drop, the bottom bed pressure drop is a specific component of the overall pressure drop in the column and is considered separately due to its location in the column.
The pressure drop in the bottom bed is influenced by factors such as the type of packing material, packing geometry, fluid properties, and the flow rates of the gas (vapor) and liquid phases. The packing in the bottom bed introduces resistance to the flow, leading to a pressure drop as the fluid moves through this section of the column.
