Blake Number
Blake number is proportional to { (inertial force) / (viscous force) } and is used in momentum transfer in general and flow through beds of solids calculations in particular. It is normally defined in one of the following forms :
or
Where: | ||
epsilon | = | Void fraction |
G | = | Mass velocity |
mu | = | Viscosity |
rho | = | Density |
s | = | Particle area/particle volume |
V | = | Velocity |
