[edit]

I am currently in school getting my bachelors in Chemical Engineering. We recently went over this equation, and it is an important equation in Chemical Engineering. It deserves its own page, simply because it is actually comprised of two equations, and this Ergun equation is valid over a huge range of conditions. My professor put an emphasis on this. I will update the page.

I signed up after making that comment, for reference.

In my opinion, the Burke Plummer and Kozeny-Carman equation articles should be merged into this one, since the Ergun equation is more widely applicable than either of the others, but they are all directly related to each other. It is also a nice theoretical model to see, since it represents an equation that was derived from a good intuitive guess, giving a widely applicable and accurate equation.
