All rights reserved | 2 Introduction  Packed columns undergo a transition from vapor- to liquid- continuous operation.  The transition is a “second order” (continuous).  Examples include: –Percolation threshold in random resistor networks –Paramagnetic/ferromagnetic transition at the Curie point  Phase transitions exhibit universal behavior. –Universality classes  These observations can be can be used as a basis for correlating pressure drops/flood point in packed columns.
