Which of the following same diameter columns gives lowest pressure drop per unit height ?

Correct answer: C. Packed column (stacked)

  • A. Bubble-cap column
  • B. Sieve-plate column
  • C. Packed column (stacked)
  • D. Randomly packed column

Explanation

Stacked or structured packing offers a relatively open, orderly flow path, so it produces less friction and pressure drop per unit height than trays or randomly dumped packing.
