    Kloss Equation Calculator

    Calculate the maximum vapor (flooding) velocity using the Kloss equation.

    Using the formula:
    \[ v_f = K \sqrt{\frac{\rho_L – \rho_V}{\rho_V}} \] where:
    \(K\) = Kloss constant (m/s), \(\rho_L\) = Liquid density (kg/m³), \(\rho_V\) = Vapor density (kg/m³)

    Step 1: Enter Parameters

    Typical values range from 0.1 to 0.3 m/s

    e.g., 1000 kg/m³ for water

    e.g., 5 kg/m³ for a typical vapor

    Formula: \[ v_f = K \sqrt{\frac{\rho_L – \rho_V}{\rho_V}} \]
