h_d = 51*((U_h/C_o)^2)*(ρ_V/ρ_L)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Dry Plate Head Loss - (Measured in Meter) - Dry Plate Head Loss is the loss in pressure due to vapor flow through the holes expressed in terms of head.
Vapor Velocity Based on Hole Area - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Vapor Velocity Based on Hole Area is defined as the actual vapor velocity on the basis of hole area available to the vapor passing through the column.
Orifice Coefficient - Orifice Coefficient is a constant that depends on plate thickness, hole diameter and the ratio of hole to perforated area.
Vapor Density in Distillation - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Vapor Density in Distillation is defined as the ratio of mass to the volume of vapor at particular temperature in a distillation Column.
Liquid Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Liquid Density is defined as the ratio of mass of given fluid with respect to the volume that it occupies.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Vapor Velocity Based on Hole Area: 20.2585 Meter per Second --> 20.2585 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Orifice Coefficient: 0.83 --> No Conversion Required
Vapor Density in Distillation: 1.71 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 1.71 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Liquid Density: 995 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 995 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h_d = 51*((U_h/C_o)^2)*(ρ_V/ρ_L) --> 51*((20.2585/0.83)^2)*(1.71/995)

Evaluating ... ...

h_d = 52.21575867204

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

52.21575867204 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

52.21575867204 ≈ 52.21576 Meter <-- Dry Plate Head Loss
