Pressure drop in packed column ..... a tray column

a) More than
b) Less than
c) Equal to
d) No relation to

Answer 1

The answer is b)

Step-by-step explanation:

In packed column the mass transfer area is higher and the packing can be random, that could provoque an increase in the pressure, because obstruction of the mass flux, While in a tray column the sieves can have specific porosity and the flux of mass can be facilitated, thus the pressure drop.
