In a packed or tray column where you have vapor flowing up and liquid flowing down, there is an upper limit to how fast the liquid can drain downwards. The point at which liquid cannot flow down as fast as it is coming into the column is the "flooding point". The actual flooding point is partly dependent on how fast the liquid can flow down with no vapor flowing upwards and the rate at which vapor is trying to flow upwards. Cross sections of the column occupied by vapor are not available for liquid flow - effectively reducing the cross-section for downward flow of the liquid. You also get entrainment of liquid in the upward flowing vapor and drag on the liquid as it fights the direction of the vapor flow - the vapor wants to go up while the liquid wants to go down. This additional drag also slows down the flow of liquid trying to drain downward in the column. There is an analogous condition for two-phase liquid/liquid extraction columns.

What is loading and flooding point in packed column?
Flooding point is the point where the liquid overflows because of the high gas velocity coming from the bottom. Loading point is velocity at which absorption starts taking place.
What is flooding and channeling in context with distillation?
Flooding and channeling are very significant terms with both gas absorption and distillation of it involves the use of packed towers. Flooding means that the gas velocity is very high, therefore, does not allow the flow of the liquid from the top of the tower, and flooding occurs on the top of it (ergo, the gas phase is not completely mixed by the water phase). The best gas velocity, should be half of the flooding velocity. For channeling, it is the unequal wetting of the packings in the tower. If channeling occurs, poor mass transfer happens, and therefore, less efficiency of the tower happens.
How flooding in distillation column control?
flooding in disillation column is control: 1) to reduce total crude charge, 2)to decrease the transfer temperture, 3) increase the tower reflux, 4) increase the tower pressure.

What is the relationship between flash point and initial boiling point in diesel?
The flash point of diesel fuel is the lowest temperature at which its vapors can ignite in air, while the initial boiling point is the temperature at which the first portion of the liquid begins to evaporate. Generally, diesel has a flash point that is higher than its initial boiling point, indicating that it requires a higher temperature to ignite compared to the temperature at which it starts to vaporize. This relationship is crucial for safety and storage considerations, as it affects handling and potential fire hazards. In essence, the flash point helps define the flammability risk associated with the fuel under different temperature conditions.
What is loading and flooding point in packed column?

What are the stages of a flood?
1.minor flooding 2.moderate flooding 3.major flooding _______ extra is a 'recording flooding'
Different between dry point settlements and wet point settlements?
Dry point settlements are located on elevated land that is less prone to flooding, allowing for safer habitation and agriculture even in dry conditions. In contrast, wet point settlements are situated near water sources, such as rivers or lakes, which provide essential resources for drinking, agriculture, and transportation. While dry point settlements prioritize safety from flooding, wet point settlements focus on accessibility to water. Both types reflect adaptations to environmental conditions and resource availability.
Is flooding an adjective?
It can be (flooding rains, flooding basements). Both the present participle (flooding) and the past partciple (flooded) are adjectives for the verb 'to flood.'
Can rapids flood?
Yes. Although after a certain point in the flooding will become too high for the rapids to be considered rapids. Riverbed might be more appropiate.
Can tornadoes do lots of flooding?
No. Tornadoes do not cause flooding.
What does a dry point site mean in geography?
A dry point site in geography refers to a location that is elevated or situated away from areas prone to flooding, making it a safer choice for settlement. These sites often have access to necessary resources like water, but their elevation provides a buffer against environmental hazards such as flooding. Historically, dry point sites have been favored for agriculture and human habitation due to their reduced risk and potential for sustainable living.
What is the difference between fluvial flooding and coastal flooding?
Fluvial flooding is - Produced by the action of a river or stream. Coastal flooding is - An overflowing of water onto land that is normally dry.
What is the difference between flooding and flash flooding?
flooding means drowning of areas by heavy rain in considerable time, but flash flooding means, heavy rain in short time.
Why is sea level?
Sea level gives a reference point. Sea level is 0 so from there we can determine the height of land and whether that land is prone to flooding.
Why is levelling important?
Sea level gives a reference point. Sea level is 0 so from there we can determine the height of land and whether that land is prone to flooding.
Do the mail comes when it's raining?
Yes, the mail comes when it rains. A flood would stop mail delivery.
