Operating velocity in a packed tower is usually __________________ the flooding velocity ?
Correct answer: D. Half
- A. More than
- B. Twice
- C. Equal to
- D. Half
Explanation
Packed towers are normally operated below flooding to maintain stable liquid distribution and avoid excessive entrainment and pressure drop. A common design operating velocity is about one-half of the flooding velocity.
