I'm trying to design a perforated pipe distribution header to evenly distribute a mixture of soldis and liquids throughout a filter vessel. I'm looking for some resources on the topic and I am getting bits and piece from several different areas. Here are some of the items I've found

-The ratio of the kinetic energy of the inlet stream to presure drop across one orifice should be less than 0.1.
-The ratio of the pressure drop from start to end of the pipe to pressure drop across the orifices (pipe perforations) should also be below 0.1.

The attacehd lecture notes from a process equipment design class actually derive an exact relationship between the orifice diamter and the pipe diameter.

Does anyone know where I can find a good text on this subject that is thorough? Or have some further insight into the subject matter?
