โฆ Synopsis
Interfacial area in cocurrent gas-liquid downflow through packed beds is correlated taking into consideration the physical properties of the fluids and the power dissipation in the system. The correlation is tested with the experimental data covering a wide range in system variables including low and high porosity packings, the flow rates of the phases and their physical properties.

## Abstract The dependency of pressure drop and liquid holdup on phase velocities, geometry of the column and packing materials as well as on the physical properties have been analyzed. Our experimental data (825 data points obtained using four liquid systems and three different particles) along wi
