It is desired to absorb ammonia from air into water producing an outlet gas stream with 0.5mol% ammonia. equilibrium data given as y=1.414x in mole fraction. The counter current column has three equilibrium stages. Entering gas stream has a total of 10 kgmole/hr and has 80% mil NH3. Inlet water stream contains 2% mil ammonia. Find required flow rate entering liquid stream and flow rate of all outlet stream.

A gas stream contains 15 mole% hexane and the remainder nitrogen. The stream flows to a condenser, where its temperature is reduced and some of the hexane is liquefied. The hexane mole percent in the gas stream leaving the condenser is 4. Liquid hexane condensate is recovered at a rate of 1.0 L/min. You may take the specific gravity of liquid hexane to be 0.6548. What is the flow rate of the gas stream leaving the condenser in mol/min? mol/min...

A dehumidifier is used to remove water from air, to deliver dehumidified air with a water content of 1.7 mol% H2O to a room. The fresh air that needs to be dehumidified contains 4 mole% water. A stream of the fresh air is combined with a recycle stream of previously dehumidified air and passed through the dehumidifier. The blended stream entering the dehumidifier contains 2.3 mole% H2O.   A fraction of the dehumidified air leaving the dehumidifier is recycled and the...

Wet air containing 4.0 mole% water vapor at 76°F and 14.8 psia is passed through a column of calcium chloride pellets. The pellets absorb 97% of the water and none of the other constituents of the air. The column packing was initially dry and had a mass of 3.40 kg. Following 5.0 hours of operation, the pellets are reweighed and found to have a mass of 3.52 kg. Calculate the molar flow rate (mol/h) of the feed gas and the...

By means of a plate column, acetone is absorbed from its mixture with air in a non-volatile absorption oil. The entering gas contains 20 mole percent acetone, and the entering oil is acetone-free. Of the acetone in the air, 98.5 percent is to be absorbed, and the concentration of the liquor at the bottom of the tower is to contain 8 mole percent acetone. The equilibrium relationship is ye=1.85xe. Plot the operating line and determine the minimum number of stages....
