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 loading point in packed column?
The point in which the droplets of liquid (solvent) are carried up with the gas in packed column. This hapens if the solvent flow is fixed & the gas flow is icreased.
What is flooding point?
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 should be the minimum crude distillation column overhead dew point in oil refineries operatin with sarir crude?
105 - 112
Why does the diameter of distillation column vary at different location?
A distillation column has flows of materials going up and down the plates or packing. The flow across each plate or section of packing is an essential factor in the optimization calculations and design. Diameter is one of these considerations. Since columns have "heavies" traveling down and "lights" moving up and the division between these components may not be even, the top and bottom flows may be quite different, and the optimal column diameter must be adjusted at different locations along the length. Add to this the introduction of a feed stream at some point in the mid-column and the flows are altered again. But why be concerned about this? Columns are often constructed of expensive alloys, glass lined, or heat treated to avoid erosion, corrosion or stress problems. Minimizing the column size minimizes the cost. Along with quality of product, cost is an optimization factor.
Why is the feed in a distillation column introduced from the bottom?
This is not a rule. it is depend upon the feed conditions. eg. feed at 1. saturated liquid (cold) 2. partial vapors 3. Vapours 4. saturated vapors 5 at boiling point

What is a column plate number?
It is the efficiency of the column. The larger the number, the more theoretical plates the column possesses; a typical well-packed column with a 5-micrometer particle size porous packing in a 15cm x 46 mm column should provide10,000-20,000 plates. sorry. I forgot to put a point in there. It should be 4.5 mm, not 45
What Would be the effect poorly packed in melting point?
The effect of poorly packed will decrease the melting point.
How valve point loading effect power system?
Kindle help me to answer What is valve point loading effect and its applcation
What is the thousandths column?
The thousandths column is the third column to the right of the decimal point.
What digit is in the the tenths column of 38.9?
The tenths column is the first column after the decimal point → the digit in the tenths column is '9'.
What digit is in the tenths column of 46.2?
The tenths column is the first column after the decimal point, so it is 2.
What is the relationship between column width and text point size?
You can fit more text in a column using a smaller point size.
What is the first step for both loading and unloading a firearm?
The first step for loading and unloading a firearm is to point the gun in a safe direction.
What digit is in the tenths column of 31.9?
9 is the digit in the tenths place. The tenths column is the column immediately to the right of the decimal point.
Which column is the digit 2 of the number 65.2 in?
It is 2 tenths, as it is in the tenths column.
