✦ Synopsis

mining the upper limit of the applicability of this correlation; however, it is thought that it will apply at all vapor velocities where the tray is operating in the froth regime from below the point at which the tray commences weeping, u p to the point of transition from the froth to spray regimes.

At hole load factors greater than 0.9 m/s, 2 is between 0.9 and 1.0, and so in this range the correction to the dry tray correlation is of only small significance. However, below 0.9 m/s the correction becomes more important, particularly as this is the more likely operating range for modern large hole trays with high free areas.
