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 10
1300 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.

Answer:
Explanation:
= Area of section 1 =
= Velocity of water at section 1 = 100 ft/min
= Specific volume at section 1 =
= Density of fluid =
= Area of section 2 =
Mass flow rate is given by
The mass flow rate through the pipe is
As the mass flowing through the pipe is conserved we know that the mass flow rate at section 2 will be the same as section 1
The speed at section 2 is .
