Problem 8 Situation: A packed bed is composed of crushed rock with
a density of 175 lb/ft3 of such a size and shape that the average
ratio of surface area to volume for the particles is 50 [in2/in3].
The bed is 6-(ftl- deep, has a porosity of0.3, and is covered by a
2 [ftl deep layer of water that drainsby gravity through the bed.
Assume that it exits the bed at atmospheric pressure. Requirements:
Calculate the flow rate of water through the bed in
