LumpedRateModelWithPores.calculate_bodenstein_number(flow_rate: float) float#

Calculate the Bodenstein number for a given flow rate.

Parameters:
flow_ratefloat

volumetric flow rate

The Bodenstein number is calculated as follows:
.. math::

Bo = frac{u_{int} cdot L_{Column}}{D_{ax}},

where $u_int$ is the interstitial velocity
Returns:
Bofloat

Bodenstein number
