- Air with (μair = 2.27*10-5 pa.s, T = 394.3 K, M.wt of air = 28.97), flows through a packed bed of cylinders having a diameter of 0.03 m, and length the same as the diameter. The bed void fraction is 0.45 and the length of the packed bed is 4 m. The air enters the bed at 1.5 atm abs at the rate of 3.5 kg/m .s based on the empty cross section of the bed. Calculate the pressure drop of air in the bed.
