Downcomer liquid load definition

Downcomer liquid load definitions. For downcomer design, the liquid load is usually defined as... 

Equations (3.89) and (3.90) equate the tray active area vapor loading VN to the maximum VM for determining the gas in liquid entrainment flooding of the tray. The early work of Souders and Brown [12], based on a force balance on an average suspended droplet of liquid, led to the definition of a capacity parameter VM- Both VN and Where refer to the active area of the tray. This active area is simply the net tower cross-section internal area less the downcomer areas. The downcomer areas include both the downcomer inlets and outlets.
