Question: 7 . 2 - 3 . Absorption of H 2 S by Water. In a wetted - wall tower an air - H 2 S

7.2-3. Absorption of H2S by Water. In a wetted-wall tower an air -H2S mixture is flowing by a film of water that is flowing as a thin film down a vertical plate. The H2S is being absorbed from the air to the water at a total pressure of 1.50atm abs and 30C. A value for kc' of 9.56710-4ms has been predicted for the gas-phase mass-transfer coefficient. At a given point the mole fraction of H2S in the liquid at the liquid-gas interface is 2.0(10-5) and pA of H2S in the gas is 0.05atm. The Henry's law equilibrium relation is pA(atm)=609xA(mole fraction in liquid). Calculate the rate of absorption of H2S.(Hint: Call point 1 the interface and point 2 the gas phase. Then calculate pA1 from Henry's law and the given xA. The value of pA2 is 0.05atm.)
