This document provides data and calculations related to a flooded-bed simulation. It includes liquid and gas properties, particle and bed properties, and calculated dimensionless numbers. Equations developed using neural networks are used to calculate pressure drop, liquid saturation, and back-mixing parameters like Peclet number and axial dispersion coefficient. References are provided for the simulation methods and correlations used.
