The difficulty of liquid distribution in packed towers is accentuated, when the ratio of tower diameter to packing diameter is_________________?
Correct answer: B. < 7
- A. < 30
- B. < 7
- C. > 7 20 < 50
Explanation
Liquid distribution becomes difficult when the tower diameter is less than about seven times the packing diameter, because too few packing elements span the cross-section and local maldistribution becomes significant. Larger diameter-to-packing ratios generally provide better distribution.
