Influence of Liquid Viscosity and Bed Porosity on Two-Phase Pressure Drop in Concurrent Gas-Liquid Upflow Through Packed Beds

摘要

It was observed in the experimental investigation: that the concurrent upflow of air-Monoethanol amine system through the packed bed gave higher pressure drop in bubble flow regime than the air-water system. But when the flow regime changed to spray flow, air-water system showed higher pressure drop than the other. This phenomenon was observed for the two column packing used in this study. An attempt is made to explain this phenomenon.
