Question: A cyclohexane - air mixture ( 0 . 0 1 mole fraction cyclohexane ) is scrubbed with an oil an oil ( molecular weight 2

A cyclohexane-air mixture (0.01 mole fraction cyclohexane) is scrubbed with an oil an oil
(molecular weight 250, specific gravity of 0.875, mole fraction cyclohexane of 0.003) in a packed column at 30C and 2 atm. The gas entering flow rate is 0.1713 m3/s. and the oil rate is 2.52 x 10-3 kmol/s. Ninety percent of the cyclohexane is to be removed. The cross sectional area of the tower is 0.186 m2 and the mass transfer coefficient are given as
kmol/m3.s
kmol/m3.s
Find the height of packing required.
