Abstract
Vapor-liquid contacting in high gravitational fields offers prospects for significant reductions in the physical size, capital, and operating costs of packed towers. Pressure drops, power requirements, mass transfer coefficients and liquid residence time distributions are reported for a rotating bed separator. The beds studied were rigid, foamed aluminum, with specific surface areas ranging from 650 to 3000 m{sup 2}/m{sup 2}. Gravitational fields were varied from 50 to 300g.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Engineering Progress (CEP) is the flagship publication of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), the world''s leading organization for chemical engineers. More than 38,000 professionals receive the magazine each month. According to CEP’s latest demographic statistics, nearly 85% of these influential readers work in industry, with the rest employed in academia and government. More than 23,000 students worldwide have online access to every issue. CEP''s mandate is to provide essential technical and professional information to this key audience.
