I need some guidance for modeling the flow and pressure drop through the orifices in a sparger.

The sparger is arranged vertically in a tank under about 12 feet of liquid. The sparger itself has 20 rows (2 holes/row; rows spaced 1.5 ft apart).

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

csnick98,

Check chapter 14, page 74 of Perry's Handbook, 7th Edition for sparger design criteria. Also check out the following post which has an excel sheet for sparger design:

Hope this helps.
