Question

At a point in an ammonia absorber at 101.3 kPa and 20^oC, using water as the absorbent, the bulk gas phase contains 10 vol% NH₃. At the interface, the partial pressure of NH₃ is 2.26 kPa. Ammonia concentration in the body of the liquid is 1 wt%. The rate of ammonia absorption at this point is 0.05 kmol/h-m². (a) Given this information and the equilibrium curve in Figure , calculate X, Y, Y_I, X_I,X*, Y*, K_Y, K_X, k_Y, and k_X. (b) What percent of the mass-transfer resistance is in each phase? (c) Verify for these data that1/K_Y = 1/k_Y + H^,/k_X.
