Bottom distillation column rate
Input(s)
L: Liquid Mass Velocity \(\left(\mathrm{lbm} / \mathrm{ft}^{2} \mathrm{~h}\right)\)
G: Gas Mass Velocity \(\left(\mathrm{lbm} / \mathrm{dt}^{2} \mathrm{~h}\right)\)
\(\sigma_{\mathrm{g}}\): Gas Density \((\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})\)
\(\sigma_{1}\): Liquid Density \((\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})\)
Output(s)
X: Bottom Distillation Column Rate (dimensionless)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{X}=\frac{\mathrm{L} * \sigma_{\mathrm{g}}}{\mathrm{G} * \sigma_{1}}
\]
