TPSR Loop with Internal Draft Tube BCDT

Equation 10.22 is valid for relatively large submergences (of the order of several meters) that are common to bubble columns and is therefore recommended. Treybal (1981) has given the it d values for stainless steel and carbon steel. The holes in the plates are punched. Smaller holes cannot be punched in thicker plates. For instance, for a 3mm hole, Treybal (1981) recommends of 0.65 for stainless steel plates. Thus, is 2 mm, implying that plates of greater thickness cannot be used. On the other hand, mechanical integrity considerations may dictate larger plate thickness.
