Bottom distillation column rate

Input(s)

L: Liquid Mass Velocity $\left(\mathrm{lbm} / \mathrm{ft}^{2} \mathrm{~h}\right)$

G: Gas Mass Velocity $\left(\mathrm{lbm} / \mathrm{dt}^{2} \mathrm{~h}\right)$

$\sigma_{\mathrm{g}}$: Gas Density $(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})$

$\sigma_{1}$: Liquid Density $(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})$

Output(s)

X: Bottom Distillation Column Rate (dimensionless)

Formula(s)

$$ \mathrm{X}=\frac{\mathrm{L} * \sigma_{\mathrm{g}}}{\mathrm{G} * \sigma_{1}} $$
