Abstract

On the basis of force and energy balance, a generalized approach has been developed for the prediction of pressure drop in fixed, expanded and fluidized beds, packed columns and static mixers. It has been shown that the Ergun type equation can be derived from first principles. i) Pressure drop in fixed, fluidized and expanded beds: Spherical particles
