How it works: Enter the available data in the block you want to use. The "Independent Mode" allows you to calculate blocks independently. Leave it unchecked and the input data will be shared across blocks to calculate all together. Your calculator solves for column volume, cross-sectional area, slurry volume with packing factor, residence time, and converts between volumetric and linear flow rates. Each card updates automatically as you type.
Column Calculations
Formulae
A = π × (ID ÷ 2)2
V = A × H
V = π × (ID ÷ 2)2 × H
Slurry Calculations
Formulae
Vslurry = (Vpacked × CF) ÷ Cs
Hs = VSlurry ÷ π × (ID ÷ 2)2
Residence Time Calculations
From Volumetric Data
From Linear Data
Formulae
t = V ÷ Qv
t = (H ÷ QL) × 60
Conversion Factors
Formulae
Qv = (QL × A) ÷ 60
QL = (Qv × 60) ÷ A
