.ThermalSeparation.Components.Columns.StructuredPackedColumn

Information

Specialized class to describe a packed column. Base classes for the following classes are instantiated her:

• liquid holdup
• pressure loss
• film model (BaseFilmPacked)
• geometry
• heat transfer to wall

This class of a structured packed column also supplies the initial equation for the liquid content in the column.

This value can be specified by the user, or the boolean parameter wetted is set to true, which means that the packing material at simulation start is completely wetted. For a fast simulation it is often helpful to initialize with a liquid content which is slightly above the liquid content for a wetted column.
