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.
