Effective Particle Diameter by Ergun given Frication Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Diameter(eff) = (Factor of Friction*Length of Packaged Bed*Superficial Velocity^2*(1-Void Fraction))/(Acceleration due to Gravity*Head of Fluid*Void Fraction^3)
D_eff = (f_f*L_b*U_b^2*(1-∈))/(g*H_f*∈^3)
This formula uses 7 Variables

Variables Used

Diameter(eff) - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter(eff) is a chord that runs through the center point of the circle.
Factor of Friction - Factor of Friction or Moody chart is the plot of the relative roughness (e/D) of a pipe against Reynold's number.
Length of Packaged Bed - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Packaged Bed is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.
Superficial Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Superficial Velocity is the volumetric flow rate divided by a cross sectional area.
Void Fraction - Void Fraction is the fraction of the channel volume that is occupied by the gas phase.
Acceleration due to Gravity - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Acceleration due to Gravity is acceleration gained by an object because of gravitational force.
Head of Fluid - (Measured in Meter) - The Head of Fluid is the height of a vertical column of fluid and represents mechanical energy per pound of fluid.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Factor of Friction: 1.148 --> No Conversion Required
Length of Packaged Bed: 1100 Meter --> 1100 Meter No Conversion Required
Superficial Velocity: 0.05 Meter per Second --> 0.05 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Void Fraction: 0.75 --> No Conversion Required
Acceleration due to Gravity: 9.8 Meter per Square Second --> 9.8 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required
Head of Fluid: 0.0077 Meter --> 0.0077 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D_eff = (f_f*L_b*U_b^2*(1-∈))/(g*H_f*∈^3) --> (1.148*1100*0.05^2*(1-0.75))/(9.8*0.0077*0.75^3)

Evaluating ... ...

D_eff = 24.7921390778534

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

24.7921390778534 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

24.7921390778534 ≈ 24.79214 Meter <-- Diameter(eff)

What is internal flow?

Internal flow is a flow for which the fluid is confined by a surface. Hence the boundary layer is unable to develop without eventually being constrained. The internal flow configuration represents a convenient geometry for heating and cooling fluids used in chemical processing, environmental control, and energy conversion technologies.
An example includes flow in a pipe.
