The proposed flowrates and properties of the fluids in a packed column are as follows: 12 000 kg/h Liquid Flowrate Liquid Density Liquid Viscosity Vapour Flowrate Vapour Density A 1.5 m diameter packed column containing 1.5 in. ceramic Raschig rings is available. 2.1 By determining the percentage flooding, decide whether an increase in flowrate is possible. (10) 2.2 If the packing is replaced with Intalox saddles (1.5 in), would a pressure drop reduction be achieved? (7) NIS 780 kg/m 0.38 CP 16 000 kg/h 1.24 kg/m
