Pressure drop in a packed bed for laminar flow is given by the ______________ equation?
Correct answer: A. Kozeny-Carman
- A. Kozeny-Carman
- B. Blake-Plummer
- C. Leva's
- D. Fanning friction factor
Explanation
The Kozeny-Carman equation relates pressure drop through a packed bed to particle size, void fraction, viscosity and flow rate, particularly for laminar flow. The other listed relations are associated with different packed-bed correlations or friction descriptions.
