Regarding the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid column in the reactor vessel
Thread Content
When designing a jacketed reactor, when calculating the pressure, the static pressure of the liquid column is taken into account. Is this height h of the static liquid column equal to the total internal height of the reactor, or rather it is the total depth of the head minus the thickness of the straight sides plus the height of the cylinder?
The height of the liquid in the entire reactor is converted to an equivalent height of water based on its density.
Reactor vessels are generally not filled to capacity; the maximum loading factor is around 0.8. In the case of vertical reactors, the length of the cylinder should be taken into consideration.
