CADETProcess.processModel.LumpedRateModelWithPores.NTP

LumpedRateModelWithPores.NTP(flow_rate: float) → float

Calculate number of theoretical plates.

Parameters:

flow_ratefloat

volumetric flow rate

Calculated using the axial dispersion coefficient:

.. math::

NTP = frac{u cdot L_{Column}}{2 cdot D_a}

Returns:

NTPfloat

Number of theretical plates
