Try to solve these problems. They are good training for your midterm and quiz 1 Good luck
In example 2 we use trayed column in example 3 we use packed column
The same problem solved using a packed bed A gas mixture at 1.0 atm pressure abs containing air and CO2 is contacted in a single-stage mixer continuously with pure water at 293 K. The two exit gas and liquid streams reach equilibrium. The inlet gas flow rate is 100 kg mol/h, with a mole fraction of CO2 of yA2 = 0.20. The liquid flow rate entering is 300 kg mol water/h. Calculate the amounts and compositions of the two outlet phases. Assume that water does nor vaporize to the gas phase. The flow diagram, The inert water flow is L’ = L0 = 300 kg mol/h. The inert air flow V’ is obtained from, V’ = V(1-yA ). Hence, the inert air flow is V’ = V2 (1-yA2 ) = 100 (1-0.20) = 80 kg mol/h . A gas from a petroleum distillation column has its concentration of H2S reduced from 0.03 kgmole H2S / kgmoles inert gas to 1 % of its value by scrubbing with a tri ethanol amine with water as a solvent in a counter current tower of height 7.79 m operating at 300oC and 1 atm. The equilibrium relation is Y= 2 X. Pure solvent enters the tower and leaves containing 0.013 kg mole H2 S / kgmole of solvent. If the flow of inert hydrocarbon gas is 0.015 kgmole/m2S and the gas phase controls the mass transfer. Calculate the overall coefficient for absorption.
