Pressure Drop Vs Air Flow Rate: Flowra Te (L/Min) Pressure Drop (MMH O)

The document contains a table and figure showing experimental measurements of pressure drop across a packed column for different flow rates of air and water. It also includes sample calculations to determine theoretical values for flooding point, capacity parameter, liquid and gas flow rates based on properties of air, water, and column dimensions. A table is presented with calculated values for capacity parameter, gas flow rate, liquid flow rate, and flow parameter for different air flow rates.
