Abstract
The objective of this work is to measure the flow parameters which define the non-uniform flow patterns used in the theoretical models to predict tray efficiency. Stagnant zone areas and flow recirculation parameters have been correlated to dimensionless variables which are representative of tray design and flow conditions. Experiments were performed in a 1. 25 m air/water simulator to measure velocity distributions in sieve trays with 5% downcomer area, as a function of hole area, weir height and liquid and vapor rates. This work is pertinent to the design of distillation and absorption trays.
