Calculate Saturated Gas Properties (Gas is usually saturated at the throat). Calculate Throat Velocity and Throat Diameter ( Calculate Drop Size ( ) using the Nukiyama formula. Calculate Inertial Impaction Parameter ( Calculate Overall Pressure Drop ( ΔPcap delta cap P ΔPcap delta cap P in. W.C.in. W.C. Actual Efficiency ( Throat Dimensions (Length and Diameter). 4. Optimization Tips High Efficiency: Increase the throat velocity (
Essential for determining the throat area and overall scrubber sizing. Liquid-to-Gas Ratio ( Before building the spreadsheet, define these inputs: ),
When designing a calculation sheet in Excel, you are essentially solving for three main variables:
(\Delta P) in kPa, (L/G) in L/m³, (v_t) in m/s. Calculate Throat Velocity and Throat Diameter ( Calculate
[ \Delta P = 0.44 \times \left( \fracLG \right) \times v_t^2 ]
