A cyclohexane-air misture (0.01 mole fraction cyclohexane) is scrubbed with an oil (mole fraction cyclohexane of 0.003) at 30°C in a packed tower. The gas entering flow rate is 0.1713 m³/sec. Liquid feed is 2.52 x 10-3 kmol/sec. Ninety percent of the cyclohexane is to be removed. 

Additional data:

kLa and kGa are 1.427 x 10^-3 and 0.0633 kmol/m³.sec; 

cross- sectional area of tower is 0.0186 m². 

Find 

(a) Kg cyclohexane removed per hour 

(b) Number of transfer units 

(c) Height of a gas transfer unit

(d) Total height of the tower.
