ABSTRACT It is well known that the uniformity of liquid distribution is crucial for the separation performance of packed columns. Therefore, liquid distributor is the important column internals of packed column. In this paper, outflow through orifices of trough-type liquid distributor is investigated by experiment and CFD simulation. Firstly, outflow through single orifice is researched by experiment. The experimental results show that the orifice coefficient decreases with increase of orifice diameter while the wall thickness is same. The decreasing trend of orifice coefficient with increase of orifice diameter is obvious when the diameter is small; however, the decreasing trend is unobvious when the diameter is large especially the diameter greater than 10 mm. The orifice coefficient increases with increase of wall thickness while the orifices have same diameter. According to different aspect ratio, the orifices can divided into thick wall orifices and thin wall orifices. The orifice coefficient of two kind orifices has different variation trend. The experimental results also show that the orifice coefficient of punched orifices is greater than it of bored orifices while the geometric size of orifices and liquid height are same. The difference of orifice coefficient between punched orifices and bored orifices gradually decreases with increase of orifice diameter. The above conclusions that are drawn by the experiment of the orifices located in side wall are also applied to the orifices located in bottom because the location of orifices has little influence on outflow through orifices. Subsequently, outflow through single orifice is numerically investigated by CFD simulation. The orifice coefficient of two orifices is calculated by the CFD models of high turbulent Reynolds number and low turbulent Reynolds number. Geometric sizes of the two orifices are orifice diameter of 4mm and wall thickness of 2mm, orifice diameter of 8mm and wall thickness of 2mm respectivel
