Hey guys,

 I know as particle diameter increases, the pressure drop decreases, but i don't know the reason for this. Could someone please explain why  this happens. 

Help would be really appreciated.

 

thank you

Let you try google "Darcy" or "Ergun correlation" , you should find your answer .

Basically ,  big particles offer less resistance ( bigger porosity) for the fluid thus less Head loss .
