A striping operation will be carried out in a packed column that is filled with 2 in Metal Pall ring (F=20 1/ft). The column uses air to strip an impurity from an absorber with wash oil. If the liquid and gas mass flow rates are mLL=8.33lbm/s and mG=0.33lbm/s respectively, what is limiting column diameter (D) that can be used at flooding conditions? Column Area (A)=mG/G Diameter (D)=[4A/]0.5
