Pressure drop

dynamic and static liquid holdup were determined by U-tube pressure manometer

volumetric and gravimetric method for fiber - packed trickle - bed reactors operated at room temperature and atmospheric pressure with gas and liquid mass flowrate varying from 0. 052 to 0. 25kg/(m2·s) and 0. 32 to 2. 56kg/(m2 · s) respectively. The ef- fects of fluid flowrate

bed voidage

fiber property and packing method on pressure drop and liquid holdup were discussed. Correlations for pressure drop and liquid holdup were presented as follows: pressure drop fig=14. 120Ret0.252Reg-1.471 where fig= δlgDeσg/(2Gg2)
