extensions #3, display options
modeling monoliths #1 pressure drop
Kozeny-Carman relation: ΔP = u  L / B0
with specific permeability: B0 = 3 dp2 / Kc (1 - )2
where the Kozeny "constant" Kc = 180 for spherical and 300 for
monoliths, why?……. a (macro) posority dependence: Kc()
column
Spherical
Monolithic
ε (range)
0.5 (0.4-0.6)
0.8 (0.7-0.9)

Dynamic pressure drop display
modeling monoliths #2 plate height
H=A+B /u+C*u
(omitting the Cs term)
• A = 2 * γ * dp (obstruction factor γ = 0.6)
• B = 2 * kD * Dm (packing factor kD = 0.4)
• C = 1/96 * dp2 / Dm * (11k2 + 6k + 1)/(k + 1)2
(get Dm from Wilke-Chang: solvent, , T and MW effects )
(for convenience: dp = particle or macro pore diameter)
"a 2 m monolithic column behaves like a 4 m conventional"
So for monoliths: dp is replaced with 2 dp (same γ and kD values)
