(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The pressure drop through a chromatographic column is to be calculated in different units.

Concept introduction: The pressure drop through the chromatographic column is calculated by the Ergun equation which is a combination of the Kozeny-Carman equation and Burke-Plummer equation.

The Kozeny-Carman equation is applicable for the particles in a bed whose Reynolds number is less than 1. It is given as,

  ΔPL=150V¯0μ(1-ε)2ϕs2Dp2ε3.......(1)

In the above formula, the notations used are,

  ΔP=PressuredropthroughpackedtubesL=LengthoftubeV¯0=Superficialvelocityμ=Viscosityoffluidε=BedporosityDp=Pelletdiameterϕs=Sphericityofparticles

The Burke Plummer equation is applicable for the particles in a bed whose Reynolds number is more than 1000. It is given as,

  ΔPL=1.75V¯02ρ(1-ε)ϕsDpε3.......(2)

  ρ=Densityofwater

Ergun equation can be derived by combining equation (1) and equation (2):

  ΔPL=150V¯0μ(1-ε)2ϕs2Dp2ε3+1.75V¯02ρ(1-ε)ϕsDpε3 ....... (3)
