Question

1. An existing absorption tower contains the equivalent of 3.0 theoretical trays and is being used to absorb SO2 from air by pure water at 293 K and 1.0 atm. The entering gas contains 15 mol % SO2 and the inlet air flow rate is 150 kg inert air/h-m2. The entering water rate is 6000 kg inert air/h m2. Calculate the composition of the outlet gas. (Hint: Solve the problem using a trial-and-error method.)

    A tray tower is designed to absorb acetone from air stream using pure water at 293 K and 101.3 kPa. The inlet air flow rate is 483.33 kg/min (MW air = 29) and it contains 5 mol % of acetone. It is desired to remove 95 % of the acetone from air stream. The equilibrium relationship for this dilute stream is given by the equation of y= 1.186 x. * All the solutions should be presented in the unit of...

    A packed tower (cross-sectional area: 0.093 m2) is filled with 25.4 mm ceramic rings and it is used for SO2 absorption from air by using pure water inlet. The entering gas contains 20 mol% SO2 and the leaving gas is mandated to contain 2 mol% SO2 before being discharged into the air. The air flow rate is 6.53 x 10-4 kgmol air/s while the water flow rate is 4.2 x 10-2 kgmol water/s. The volumetric film transfer coefficients are given...
