Pressure drop in packed bed for turbulent flow is given by the ______________ equation?

Correct answer: B. Blake-Plummer

  • A. Kozeny-Carman
  • B. Blake-Plummer
  • C. Leva's
  • D. Hagen-Poiseuille's

Explanation

The Blake-Plummer equation describes pressure loss through a packed bed when inertial or turbulent effects dominate. Kozeny-Carman and Hagen-Poiseuille relations describe viscous laminar flow, while Leva's equation is not the standard choice for this condition.
