Height of downcomer filling

Input(s)

hc\mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{c}}: Clear Liquid Height (in.)

heh_{\mathrm{e}}: Dry Tray Height (in.)

hu\mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{u}}: Head Loss Under Downcomer (in.)

ρ1\rho_{1}: Liquid Density (g/cc)(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})

ρg\rho_{\mathrm{g}}: Gas Density (g/cc)(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})

hi\mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{i}}: Tray Inlet Head (in.)

Output(s)

hd\mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{d}}: Height of Downcomer Filling (in.)

Formula(s)

hd=(hc+he+hu)(ρlρlρg)+hi+1\mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{d}}=\left(\mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{c}}+\mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{e}}+\mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{u}}\right) *\left(\frac{\rho_{\mathrm{l}}}{\rho_{\mathrm{l}}-\rho_{\mathrm{g}}}\right)+\mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{i}}+1
