2. A tray tower is absorbing ethyl alcohol from an inert gas stream using pure water at 303K and 101.3kPa, the inlet gas stream flowrate is 95 kgmol/h and it contains 3 mol% alcohol. The equilibrium relationship is y=1.2x for this dilute stream. Using 1.5 times the minimum liquid flowrate determine the number of trays needed (a) graphically, (b) analytically.

Transcribed Image Text:2. A tray tower is absorbing ethyl alcohol from an inert gas stream using pure water at 303K and
101.3kPa, the inlet gas stream flowrate is 95 kamol/h and it contains 3 mol% alcohol. The equilibrium
relationship is y=1.2x for this dilute stream. Using 1.5 times the minimum liquid flowrate determine
the number of trays needed (a) graphically, (b) analytically.
