Can someone please help me solve this? I dont really understand this. The book is: PRINCIPLES AND MODERN APPLICATIONS OF MASS TRANSFER OPERATIONS 2nd Edition by Jaime Benitez.
Design a sieve tray column for the absorber that is in Example 4.4 in the book. The foaming factor may be assumed as 0.80 in this problem. The liquid surface tension is that of water, 70dynecm. Assume that the office diameter is on an equilateral triangular pitch with 20mm between centers of the orifices, with each orifice 3mm in diameter. The thickness of the tray can be assumed as 1mm thick. Design for a 60% approach to the flood velocity.
a) For this problem, design and report the parameters diameter of the tray, tray spacing, At,
Ad,Aa,Lw,rw, and Ah.
b) What are the advantages of using this approach instead of a 90% approach?
c) Estimate the tray gas pressure drop.
