Question:
Determine the pressure drop in the mist eliminator designed in Problem 23.26. Using this result, determine the maximum size of droplet for which the capture rate is 99% in this device at the design flowrate. You may assume that the absolute pressure for the inlet stream is 3 bar and the gas viscosity, μ = 16 × 10-6 kg/m/s.
Problem 23.26
Estimate the diameter of a vertical V-L separator containing a 6 in (150 mm) thick stainless steel wire mesh mist eliminator. The properties of the gas and liquid are
For the stainless steel mist eliminator, the following properties should be used: density = 192 kg/m3; wire diameter = 280 μm; specific surface area, a = 350 m2/m3; and voidage, ε = 0.975.
You should base the design on 80% of flooding.
