Question 1 A packed tower is filled with uniformly sized spherical particles of diameter 1.1 mm.
Correct The bulk density of the packing is 638 kg/m3. Height of the tower is 1 m. Cross-section
area of the tower is 1 m2. True density of the particles in the tower is 1500 kg/m3.
Mark 10.00 out of
Assume the volumetric flow of water through the tower is 1.1 m3/hour. The viscosity of
10.00
water is 0.01 Poise and density is 1000 kg/m3. Calculate the pressure drop across the
packed tower. Assume the flow to be laminar. Use the laminar flow term from Ergun
equation. (Relative tolerance = 0.02, answer to the first decimal place is sufficient)
