For example, due to the inevitable friction and impact of the channel surface to fluid flows, particularly at the bending part of the flow channels, how to reduce fluid flow rate changes or fluid pressure drop from inlet to outlet has to be considered in the fluid field design. One key part of the flow field... 

The fluid pressure drop across the bed versus superficial fluid velocity through the bed would appear as shown in Figure 3.53.

At the wellhead there is a choke valve, and the fluid pressure drops to the actual injection pressure. There is a Joule-Thomson temperature drop associated with this pressure drop, but because the acid gas is in the liquid phase, the temperature drop is quite small. 

In all compressible fluid pressure drop calculations it is usually justifiable to evaluate the friction factor at the inlet conditions and to assume it constant. The variation because of the effect of temperature change on the viscosity and hence on the Reynolds number, at the usual high Reynolds numbers, is rarely appreciable. 

Shellside is for viscous and condensing fluids. Pressure drops are 1.5 psi for boiling liquids, and 3-9 psi for other services.

UV detector. A small-diameter tube is placed in the side arm of the tee and runs to the inlet to the MS. The tubing is usually either PEEK (polyether-etherketone) or fused silica. A smaller-inner-diameter tube penetrates into the source and acts as a restrictor, limiting the flow through this side arm. The fluid pressure drops below the two-phase region somewhere in the transfer line. The small droplets of modifier formed clean the transfer line and rapidly delivers the solute to the MS source. 

Elution processes allow introduction of feed and withdrawal of product without irreversible changes in stationary media. Elution of products is usually driven by the flow of a fluid, although other driving forces are conceivable. Fluid driven elution is readily controlled on a process scale, especially in the case of incompressible fluids. Pressure drop is always a consideration when a fluid is driven, and becomes more important with increasing equipment length. 

All calculations are carried out at a window cut of 20%. This seems to be an optimum figure as it produces the maximum heat transfer coefficient at a given pressure drop for all tested heat exchangers. It is further assumed that TEMA standard clearances would exist between the tubes and baffles and between the shell inside diameter and baffle outside diameter. The various numbers in Figures 2-33a and b denote the fluids, pressure drops and exchanger dimensions given in Table 2-6.
