 The following data were collected using a bench-scale venture scrubber: Gas

The following data were collected using a bench-scale venture scrubber: Gas Rate (ft/sec) -G 1.56 Liquid rate (gal/min) = L' 0.078 Throat area (inch) 1.04 a) Estimate the average droplet diameter (d.) in (um) in the scrubber using the NT correlation shown below. Repeat the calculations using the simplified equation b) Estimate the pressure drop across the unit. Use both the Theodore and Calvert equation. Nukiyama and Tansawa (N.T) correlation 0.45 1.5 ( 9"+1587() (1000 ) 1920 1/2 do = (5.97) ( 1/2 vhere do = average surface volume mean droplet diameter, um v=relative velocity of gas to liquid, ft/s o=liquid surface tension, dyn/cm pi=liquid density, g/cm M =liquid viscosity, P L'/G' = ratio of liquid-to-gas volumetric flowrates at the venturi throat For water scrubbing systems, one may use 0= 72 dyn/cm N = 1,0 g/cm
