Tower (T-201)
From table 11.13 heuristics for tower.
Rule 9
:- A safety factor of 10% of the number of trays calculated by the best
means is advisable.
Rule 14
:- Limit the tower height to about 53m (175ft) max Because of wind
load and foundation consideration. An additional criterion is that L/D
be less than 30 (20< L/D< 30 often will require special design.)
L= 15.8m
D= 2m
L/D= 7.9
From table 11.14 heuristics for trays
