Question: 2 . 2 . A gas stream containing a mixture of N H 3 and air at a flow rate of 5 7 . 8

2.2. A gas stream containing a mixture of NH3 and air at a flow rate of 57.8kgmolh comprises 4.0mol%NH3 in the total gas. The NH3 content is decreased to 0.5mol% in a packed absorption tower at 293K and 1.013105Pa. A stream of pure water is introduced to the column at a flow rate of 68.8kgmolh. The tower's diameter is 0.747 metres. The film mass transfer coefficients are provided as: kya=0.0739kgmolsm3*mol frac kx'a=0.169kgmols.m3mol frac.
Using the design method for dilute gas mixtures, determine the following:
2.2.1. Calculate the tower height using k'y a.
20
 2.2. A gas stream containing a mixture of NH3 and air
