3. (40 points) A gas absorption tower is to be built to remove CO2 from a 100 kg/hr mixed stream of CO2 and N2 at a pressure of 1 atm and 25C by absorption into pure, deionized water. The gas mixture entering the tower contains 5 vol% CO2. The liquid stream entering the tower is pure water. Both the gas mixture and the solution in water are considered ideal. The tower is to be packed with 2 Raschig rings. To design this tower, do the following a. In the CO2 water equilibrium diagram from question 1, add operating lines considering 3 cases - (i) with minimum liquid flow; (ii) with 1.5x the minimum liquid flow (Hint: the slope of the operating line is the L/V ratio). b. Calculate the tower diameter for the case where the gas velocity is half the flooding velocity. c.
