Abstract
Pressure drop and liquid saturation accompanying two‐phase concurrent flow have been studied in a variety of packings and with gas‐liquid systems having a wide range of fluid properties. Two basic flow patterns were observed with nonfoaming systems. Correlations of pressuredrop and liquid‐saturation data were obtained in terms of the single‐phase friction losses for the liquid and the gas when each flows alone in the bed. Deviations from the correlation with foaming systems are discussed and illustrated with sample data.Keywords
