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

Kloss Constant, \( K \) (m/s):

Typical values range from 0.1 to 0.3 m/s

Liquid Density, \( \rho_L \) (kg/m³):

e.g., 1000 kg/m³ for water

Vapor Density, \( \rho_V \) (kg/m³):

e.g., 5 kg/m³ for a typical vapor
