How is the spatial flow velocity of the converter determined?
Thread Content
We all know that converters are connected in series at both ends, so is the spatial flow rate determined based on an individual unit? Are it still two units? If the flow rate is 3000 m3/h and there are 16 converters in total, what is the space velocity?

If the flow rate is 3003000 m3/h, then this flow rate can be divided by the time and then by the cross-sectional area of the pipe to get the required value. Alternatively, you can measure the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the converter, and then use Bernoulli’s equation to make the calculation
Refer to Zheng Shizi’s \"Q&A on PVC Production\", May 2008, published by Chemical Technology Press. The space velocity in a fixed-bed reactor is defined as the volume of feed gas processed per unit volume of mercury chloride catalyst per unit time, under standard conditions. The spatial flow rate is controlled at 25-40 M3/M3.H
I also want to know if anyone can explain it in more detail
I really want to know how this is calculated too! ~
The spatial flow velocity in the converter is calculated per unit group, by dividing the acetylene flow rate by the cross-sectional area of the converter’s inlet pipe. For example, if 8 sets of converters are used, totaling 16 units, then it is divided by 8.
