Estimation of void fraction of a packed column. A tube of 146 sq. in. cross section and 73 in. height is packed with spherical particles of diameter 2mm. When a pressure difference of 158 psi is maintained across the column, a 60% aqueous sucrose solution at 20°C flows through the bed at a rate of 244 lb/min. At this temperature, the viscosity of the solution is 56.5 cp and its density is 1.2865 g/cm³. What is the void fraction of the bed? Discuss the usefulness of this method of obtaining the void fraction.

A study of the physical characteristic of honey was conducted due to the large demand of royal jelly. A capillary tube viscometer was used by a researcher in determining the viscosity of the honey. The viscometer is 250 mm long with an outside diameter of 55mm and effective thickness of 2.5mm and was used horizontally so that the effect of gravity was neglected. At an ambient temperature of 300C the following data were collected: \ΔΡ (Pa) Q (cc/s) 10.0 1.25 12.5 1.55 15 1.80 17.5 2.05 20.0 2.55 What will be the stress produced per unit length in the tube used in the production of royal jelly if it has a radius of 5mm and a flow of 1 capsule per second. (1 capsule = 0.85 cc of royal jelly).
