Packed Bed

1) Ergun Equation

       Flow Through Packed Beds

    Tower Packing

    Pressure drop in packed bed reactors

2) Rotameter

     Calibration curves for rotameters

Note that although one bed is shown, all four beds operate in a similar manner

1) Compressed air main valves

2) Pressure gauge for main compressed air into system

3) Pressure gauge for column

4) Air flow from main line control valve

5) Rotometer control (need calibration curve to read)

6) Packed bed
