Seek an empirical formula for calculating the tower
Thread Content
I humbly request the ordinary calculation formula for towers, or an empirical formula that can solve problems in practice. Such as height, entrance location, return flow rate, and so on. . And what known values are also needed to be known. . . I earnestly ask for guidance from those who are more experienced. This post was last edited by nanjingdaxue on 2009-3-19 at 19:31.]
The question is too general; it’s hard to answer.
For example, how is the tower height determined, and how is the feed inlet determined?
Determination of tower height: 1. First, calculations are required to determine how many theoretical plates are needed for the separation process, and these values are then converted into actual plate or packing heights. 2. It is necessary to decide what internal components should be installed in the tower, and how much space these components will occupy; this is determined in consultation with the manufacturers of such components. 3. There are also other process-related requirements regarding the space required in the tower, such as spaces for access points and the reactor bottom. 4. The total height required for the tower is obtained by taking all these factors into consideration. The location of the feed inlet also needs to be determined through calculations, after entering various physical property data. It is necessary to find out at which theoretical plate position it is most suitable, and only then can the actual position of the inlet in the tower be determined. Each specific process varies in these aspects; at the very least, it is essential to understand process-related calculations.
There are many types of tower equipment, such as packed towers, plate towers, bubble columns, desulfurization towers, and so on. Therefore, to determine the height of these towers as well as the locations of the feed and discharge ports, it is necessary to know the process calculations specific to each type of tower. I am not sure which type of tower you need.
