EXAMPLE

Mercury at 25.4 is flowing through a packed bed of lead spheres having diameter of
3.096 with a void fraction of 0.599. The superficial velocity is 0.04198 1 . The
solubility of lead in mercury is 1.821 %, The Schmidt Number is 129.1, the viscosity of
the solution is 4.577 103 . , and the density is 13 530 3.
