Question: Use your solution from Problem 1 to help you design a stripper that accomplishes the following separation. 9 9 % of the sulfur dioxide present

Use your solution from Problem 1 to help you design a stripper that accomplishes the following
separation. 99% of the sulfur dioxide present in a liquid absorbent is to be counter-currently
stripped out with initially pure air. The SO2 is present in the liquid feed at 3mol%, which may be
regarded as dilute. The liquid flux is 810-4molcm-2sec-1, and the air flux is 1.610-3molcm-2
sec-1. The stripping is to be carried out in a tower filled with 1 in Raschig rings for which a=
190.2m-1; in this tower, kx is 5.010-6molcm-2sec-1 and kG is 1.2cmsec-1. The value of H, the
Henry's Law constant, is 6.0atm at the temperature and pressure used and {:2(atm)).
How tall does this tower need to be to accomplish the desired separation?
