Calculate the pressure drop in a packed bed.
In a packed bed, the pressure drop due to friction is given by:
where \(G\) is the mass flux, \(D_p\) is the particle diameter, \(\epsilon\) is the bed porosity, \(L\) is the packed bed length, and \(\rho\) is the fluid density. The packing friction factor \(f_p\) is estimated using the Sato and Tallmadge correlation:
where \(Re_p=D_p G/(\mu (1-\epsilon))\) is the packing Reynolds number.

Examples:
Calculate the pressure drop in a packed bed reactor under the conditions specified below.
>>> from polykin.transport import DP_packed_bed
>>> DP = DP_packed_bed(G=50., L=2., Dp=1e-2, eps=0.45, rho=800., mu=0.01)
>>> print(f"DP = {DP:.1e} Pa")
DP = 1.4e+04 Pa
