An improved correlation for dry pressure losses across static mixers at high Reynolds numbers

Corrugated (SMV‐style) static mixers are industrially important for process intensification and can promote gas–liquid mass transfer in processes such as sour gas sweetening. Current correlations for pressure loss are limited to Reynolds numbers (Re) below 40 000, far below the ranges encountered in...
