Question: You have designed a packed column at (1.0 mathrm{~atm}). The flow parameter (mathrm{F}_{mathrm{lv}}) has a value of 0.2 . The calculated gas flux at flooding

You have designed a packed column at \(1.0 \mathrm{~atm}\). The flow parameter \(\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{lv}}\) has a value of 0.2 . The calculated gas flux at flooding is \(0.50 \mathrm{lbm} /[\mathrm{s}\) \(\left.\mathrm{ft}^{2}\right]\). Your boss now wants to increase the column pressure to \(4.0 \mathrm{~atm}\). Assume that the vapor in the column follows the ideal gas law and ignore the effect of changing pressure on the column temperature. What is the new gas flux at flooding?
