What is the difference between a packed bed absorber and a plate bed absorber? How do you decide packing height related to plate-in-plate absorber? How would I get the detailed design procedure for a plate bed absorber?
Have an insight or suggestion?

Re: Chemical engineering reference guides
17 October 2006 at 1:29pmThe fundamentals of Chemical Engineering design are called out very adequately in Perry's Chemical Engineer's Handbook. The packed tower is good for smaller diameter liquids which tend to foam. The packed tower often has a greater surface transfer area than a plate tower and where there are weaker liquid concentrations, the packed tower is often better.The best reference for calculating tower heights, plates etc. is Perry's. Probably available in your local chemical engineering school library, or available through interlibrary loan. Also, a quick search through "chemical stripper design" on Google shows up a number of computer programs, including one in the Carnegie Mellon civil engineering school at: http://stinet.dtic.mil/oai/oai?&verb=getRecord&metadataPrefix=html&identifier=ADA275724 and its' supporting document and the program can be obtained through that source.
