    Abstract:
    A mathematical model has been developed to predict pressure drop in an orifice scrubber. This model is based on a Lagrangian approach for droplet movement and a particle-source-in-cell (PSI-CELL) model for calculating droplet concentration distribution. The k-epsilon turbulent model including body force due to the drag force between fluid and droplets was used to evaluate the fluid velocity distribution. The effect of orifice size on pressure drop and the correlations for mean droplet diameter have been studied. The results from the model have been compared with experimental data. This comparison shows excellent agreement between the calculated results and the experimental data.
