For the acetone absorber of Figure, assuming the use of sieve trays with a 10% hole area
Question:
For the acetone absorber of Figure, assuming the use of sieve trays with a 10% hole area and &-in. holes with an 18-in, tray spacing, estimate:
(a) The column diameter for a foaming factor of 0.85 and a fraction of flooding of 0,75,
(b) The vapor pressure drop per tray.
(c) The number of transfer units, NG and NL, from (6-62) and (6-63), respectively.
(d) NoG from (6-61).
(e) The controlling resistance to mass transfer.
(f) EoV from (6-56). From your results, determine if 30 actual trays are adequate.

I have recently received the degree of PhD. In Physics by the Universidade Federal do Maranhão after spending a term in Durham University, as I have been awarded a scholarship from a Brazilian mobility program. During my PhD. I have performed research mainly in Theoretical Physics and published works in distinguished Journals (check my ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4324-1184).
During my BSc. I have been awarded a scholarship to study for a year in the University of Evansville, where I have worked in detection-analysis of photon correlations in the the Photonics Laboratory. There I was a tutor in Electromagnetism, Classical Mechanics and Calculus for most of that year (2012).
I am very dedicated, honest and a fast learner, but most of all, I value a job well done.
