CHE 30101 (Spring 2000)

Q (gpm): 100 200. p2 - p1 (psi): 20 50. The pressure in the bed is related to the flow rate by the Ergun equation = a+ b. 1) a (with the proper unit) = 0.06514 psi(in/gpm. Use a = 0.04 psi.ft/gpm and b = 0.0002 psi.ft2/gpm2 for questions (2) and (3) 2) For Q = 300 gpm, p2 – p1 = 92.43 psi ................
