Pressure drop per length of the adsorption unit
Input(s)
B: Constant (dimensionless)
C: Constant (dimensionless)
\(\mu\): Viscosity \((\mathrm{cP})\)
\(v_{g}\): Gas Velocity \((\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{m})\)
\(\boldsymbol{\rho}_{g}\): Gas Density \(\left(\mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{ft}^{3}\right)\)
Output(s)
\((\boldsymbol{\Delta P} / \boldsymbol{L})\): Pressure Drop per Length \((\mathrm{psi} / \mathrm{ft})\)
Formula(s)
\[
\left(\frac{\Delta P}{\mathrm{~L}}\right)=\mathrm{B} * \mu * \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{g}}+\mathrm{C} * \rho_{\mathrm{g}} *\left(\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{g}}^{2}\right)
\]
