Pressure loss through perforated plate (air)
Pressure loss through perforated plate (air)
(OP)
I found this topic in thread798-186885: Prssure Drop through perforated plate.
There are two references for online calculator/graphic data
Usig both I get:
online:
Flow medium: air / gaseous
Volume flow: 690 m³/h
Weight density: 1.2 kg/m³
Dynamic Viscosity: 15.11 10-6 kg/ms
Element of pipe: Perforated plate thin circular
Dimensions of element: Diameter of pipe D: 297 mm (equivalent area of 0,07m2)
Clear area in %: 47
Velocity of flow: 2.77 m/s
Reynolds number: 65255 Flow: turbulent
Resistance coefficient: 5.35
Pressure drop: 0.25 mbar (25Pa)
from given graph in pdf:
v_mean = 690m3/h / 0.033m2 (perforated area) = 5.8m/s = 1100fpm
47% open area
So about 0.25inches of water = 62Pa
another online option:
http://www.frigprim.x10.mx/online/PerfPlate.html
v_mean = 690m3/h / 0.033m2 = 5.8m/s
47% open area
gives about 60-70Pa (graph solution)
First online solver seems quite lower (25Pa against 60), it seems because it considers a velocity (2.8m/s) quite lower than simple mean velocity (5.8m/s)
¿any idea why?
Thanks for reading!

I think that the first online calculator makes something with the input pressure (1bar, given), flow (690m3/h, given) and open area to calculate the velocity 2.77m2/s, but anyhow is very much lower than the other references, so probably or I misuse the calculator or it makes something wrong...

Can be checked in other source? i.e. google books ?

Coulson and Richardson's Chemical Engineering Volume 6 - Chemical Engineering Design (4th Edition) has a method. It's for a sieve plate column design with countercurrent vapor and liquid flow. You would only want the contribution of the dry plate pressure drop by the vapor. The method starts on page 576 and there is an example. The example's dry plate drop starts on page 582.
That's all I got.
Good luck,
