| f_p = \frac {150}{Gr_p} + 1.75

| where <math>f_p</math> and <math>Gr_p</math> are defined as | |
| | |
| <math>f_p = \frac{\Delta p}{L} \frac{D_p}{\rho V_s^2} \left(\frac{\epsilon^3}{1-\epsilon}\right)</math> and <math>Gr_p = \frac{D_p V_s \rho}{(1-\epsilon)\mu}</math>
| |
| | |
| where:
| |
| <math>\Delta p</math> is the pressure drop across the bed,<br>
| |
| <math>L</math> is the length of the bed (not the column),<br>
| |
| <math>D_p</math> is the equivalent spherical diameter of the packing,<br>
| |
| <math>\rho</math> is the [[density]] of fluid,<br>
| |
| <math>\mu</math> is the [[dynamic viscosity]] of the fluid,<br>
| |
| <math>V_s</math> is the [[superficial velocity]] (i.e. the velocity that the fluid would have through the empty tube at the same volumetric flow rate), and<br>
| |
| <math>\epsilon</math> is the [[void fraction]] of the bed (bed [[porosity]] at any time).
| |
| | |
| Extension of the Ergun equation to fluidized beds is discussed by Akgiray and Saatçı (2001).
| |
| | |
| To calculate the pressure drop in a given reactor, the following equation may be deduced
| |
| <math>\Delta p=\frac{150\mu (1-\epsilon)^2 V_s L}{\epsilon^3 D_p^2} + \frac{1.75 (1-\epsilon) \rho V_s^2 L}{\epsilon^3 D_p}</math> | |
