Vapor mass velocity of tray type tower
Input(s)
\(K_{s}\): Sizing Constant \((\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s})\)
\(\rho_{1}\): Liquid Density \(\left(\mathrm{lbm} / \mathrm{ft}^{3}\right)\)
\(\rho_{\mathrm{g}}\): Gas Density \(\left(\mathrm{lbm} / \mathrm{ft}^{3}\right)\)
Output(s)
w: Vapor Mass Velocity \(\left(\mathrm{lbm} / \mathrm{h} \mathrm{ft}{ }^{2}\right)\)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{w}=3600 * \mathrm{~K}_{\mathrm{s}} *\left(\left(\rho_{\mathrm{l}}-\rho_{\mathrm{g}}\right) * \rho_{\mathrm{g}}\right)^{0.5}
\]
