A pressure transducer enables the pressure p2 to be monitored at a radial distance r2. The following data were obtained for r1 = 3 in. and r2 = 30 in: 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 ................
