Notes:
The design variables that affect the pressure drop across dry perforated plates were determined and correlated. Average orifice coefficients were calculated for the perforated plates by using a modified form of the single-orifice flow equation.The variables which affected the orifice coefficients were found to be the hole diameter, hole pitch, plate thickness, fraction of the plate covered by the perforated area, and a Reynolds number based on the hole diameter. The orifice coefficients have been correlated with these variables in dimensionless groupings.The correlation presented covers a practicable range of variables for which the pressure drop may be predicted in design.
