GPDC Interpolation: Use, Misuse and Updates

Realistically Predict Capacity and Pressure Drop for Packed Columns

Generalized pressure-drop correlation (GPDC) charts have been the standard for predicting packing flood points and pressure drops. This article guides engineers on the correct and incorrect uses of the GPDC interpolation procedure, and updates the method for today's new state-of-the-art packings.

Discussing Climate-Change Challenges
