In a packed bed tower air is purified from methanol by using water. Tower has a cross sectional area of 0.2m2 and system operates at 313.1K and 101.32kPa. The inlet air contains 10mol% methanol and at outlet the concentration of methanol drops to 2mol%. The gas flow is 20kgmol inert air/h. The pure inlet flow is 50kgmol water/h. Film coefficients for the given flows in the tower are kx'a=0.07kgmols.m3.mol frac and k'ya=0.04kgmols.m3.mol frac. Equilibrium data is given below. Calculate the tower height.
