Flooding Velocity in Column Design Formulas

Flooding velocity refers to the maximum vapor velocity that exceeds a certain critical value which would result into flooding in a tray tower. And is denoted by u_f. Flooding Velocity is usually measured using the Meter per Second for Speed. Note that the value of Flooding Velocity is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Flooding Velocity?

Flooding velocity refers to the maximum vapor velocity that exceeds a certain critical value which would result into flooding in a tray tower. Flooding Velocity is usually measured using the Meter per Second for Speed. Note that the value of Flooding Velocity is always positive.

Can the Flooding Velocity be negative?

No, the Flooding Velocity, measured in Speed cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Flooding Velocity?

Flooding Velocity is usually measured using the Meter per Second[m/s] for Speed. Meter per Minute[m/s], Meter per Hour[m/s], Kilometer per Hour[m/s] are the few other units in which Flooding Velocity can be measured.
