A gas stream contains 4.0 mol % NH3 and its ammonia content is reduced to 0.5 mol % in a packed absorption tower at 293 K and 101300 Pa. The inlet pure water flow is 68.0 kgmol/h and total inlet gas flow is 57.8 kgmol/h. The tower diameter is 0.747 m. The film mass-transfer coefficients are k’ya=0.0739 kgmol/s.m3 .molfrac and k’xa= 0.169 kgmol/s.m3 .molfrac. Using the design methods for dilute gas mixtures,

(a) Calculate the tower height using k’ya.

(b) Calculate the tower height using K’ya.

(please solve by drawing graph )

You are required to design an absorption column. A gas stream is 92 mol% N2 and 8 mol% CO2. We wish to absorb the CO2 into water. The inlet water is pure and is at 25°C and 1 atm. If the liquid flow rate is 1.5 times the minimum liquid flow rate, how many equilibrium stages are required to absorb 65% of the CO2? The system is considered concentrated. Choose a basis of 100 mol/h of entering gas. Find the...
