Packed-Bed Adsorption: Pressure Drop Tab

Variable Definitions, Ranges and Default Values

The following table shows a brief description of the variables appearing in this tab. The table also displays their default values and their generally acceptable range:

Variable	Default Value	Range

○ Non-Bed Pressure Drop (kPa) The pressure drop before and after the bed.	1.0	Positive
◙ Pressure Drop Rate Along Bed (Pa/cm) The pressure drop in the bed per bed length.	20.0	Positive
◙ Fluid Viscosity (cP) The average viscosity of the fluid in the bed.	0.018	Positive
● Total Bed Pressure Drop (kPa) The total pressure drop of the bed.	0.0	Positive

Symbol Key: ○ User-specified value (always input); ● Calculated value (always output); ◙ Sometimes input, sometimes output
