Stiegel-Shah correlation

The Peclet number of the liquid is given by the Stiegel-Shah correlation (Ramachandran and Chaudhari, 1984) ... 

Concerning packed bubble bed reactors, the evaluation of the Peclet number of the liquid phase is important in order to decide if we have to use a plug- or backmixed-flow model. For the specified Reynolds number, the Peclet number for the liquid phase using the Stiegel-Shah correlation (eq. (3.422)) is 0.15, much lower than in the trickle bed, which was expected as the backmixing in the liquid phase in packed bubble bed reactors is relatively high. The liquid phase can be considered to be well mixed if (Ramachandran, and Chaudhari, 1980) (eq. (3.423))...
