Frictional Head Drop in Screens

Reference Document :Chemical Engineers' Handbook by Perry & Chilton, Page 5-37
The flow through a screen can be considered as flow through a number of orifices or nozzles in parallel.
Thus the pressure drop or head loss across a screen can be computed from an oricice type equation.
The resulting equation for head loss is :Head loss through the screen, Dh =

(n/C ) x {(1-a )/a } x (V /2g)

where
Dh = head loss,m of fluid
n = no.of screens in series
C = screen discharge coefficient( is a function of screen's Renolds no, Re)
(for Plain square mesh screen, C vs.Re is given in fig.5-44,page 5-37 of of Chem.eng.Hand
Book by Perry &Chilton)
a = fractional free projected area of screen
=
l=
d=
g=
V=

{(l-d)/l}
centre to centre spacing of square screen wires
diameter of screen wires
acceleration due to gravity ( 9.80665m/s)
superficial velocity ahead of screen,m/s

Experimental data indicate that for a series of screens, the over-all head loss is directly proportional
to the number of screens in series, as given by the above equation, and is not affected by either the
spacing between successive screens or by their orientation with respect to one another.
Screen discharge coefficient C is a function of screen Reynold's Number,
1
.Re=Ds X V/(a X n) =
where, n=kinetic viscosity of fluid(=/density of fluid) in m 2/s
Ds = aperture width, m
C is given by the curve under fig. 5-44, approximated by the following tabular data :-
