Process Equipment and Plant Design
The type of stress developed in a metallic bar on subjecting it to a change in temperature without allowing it to be deformed is __________ stress.
Plate tower is preferred over packed tower, if the operation involves liquids containing dispersed solids
Plate tower is perferred, if interstage cooling is required to remove heats of reaction or solution
The total weight of a dry plate tower is usually much more than that of a dry packed tower designed for the same duty
In operations involving large temperature changes. (e.g. distillation), plate towers are preferred over packed towers as the packing may be crushed due to large temperature changes
