Ans. 5.6 theoretical trays (stepping down from the tower fop) 10.6-6. Absorption of Ammonia in Packed Tower. A gas stream contains 4.0 mol % NH, and its ammonia content is reduced to 0.5 mol % in a packed absorption tower at 293 K and 1.013 X 10 Pa. The inlet pure water flow is 68.0 kg mol/h and the total inlet gas flow is 57.8 kg mol/h. The tower diameter is 0.747 m. The film mass-transfer coefficients are k'a = 0.0739 kg mol/s.m.mol frac and k'a = 0.169 kg molis. mol frac. Using the design methods for dilute gas mixtures, do as follows: (a) Calculate the tower height using ka. (b) Calculate the tower height using Kya. 10.6-7 Tower Height lleina Overall Mass-Transfer Coefficient. Repeat Example 10.6-4, us Ans.(a) z = 2.362 m (7.75 ft)
