Abstract

In the current study, we present the fluid dynamics of an absorption tower equipped with glass rings as fillings. The research involved investigating the variations in pressure drop concerning liquid (water) and gas (atmospheric air) flow rates. We thoroughly examined the impacts of these two flows, identifying specific ranges where flooding and liquid entrainment take place. Additionally, we pinpoint a critical threshold that signifies the maximum allowable combination of the two flows, denoted as Qwater/Qair, for effective tower operation.
