6. According to Brown, fractional voids in the packed bed are related to ___________ of particles?
a) Shape
b) Size
c) Sphericity
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: From the literature, fractional voids in the packed bed are related to sphericity of particles.
7. The pressure drop through the fixed beds of uniformly sized solids has been correlated by ________
a) Ergun equation
b) Poisson equation
c) Laplace equation
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: The pressure drop through the fixed beds has been correlated by Ergun equation.
8. Which factor is considered in Ergun equation when the Reynolds number is less 20?
a) 150
b) 1.75
c) 2.75
d) 250
View Answer
