Abstract:This paper develops a novel cross-flow cascade packed column. The column has a smaller width
of packing in the direction of the gas flow and a bigger area for gas flow compared with a
conventional cross-flow device with identical column diameter, stage height, and cross-sectional
area for the irrigating liquid flows. The performance comparisons of the novel cross-flow cascade
packed column with a countercurrent packed column for stripping ethanol from water indicate
that the gas-phase pressure drop per theoret… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
