(A column having trays above the packing) A mixture containing 10% of the solute A is to be scrubbed with a solvent in order to remove 98% of it. The absorption column has three ideal trays at the top below which there is a packed section The gas flow rate at the bottom is 70 kmol/m2.h, and the liquid leaving the column has 8.2 mol% solute in it. The equilibrium relation is given by y 1.05x + 0.32r, x s 0.1. If the overall volumetric mass transfer coefficient is K,ā = 95 kmol/(h)(m)(Ay), calculate the height of the packed section.

Question
(A column having trays above the packing) A mixture containing 10% of the solute A is to be scrubbed with a solvent in order to remove 98% of it. The absorption column has three ideal trays at the top below which there is a packed section The gas flow rate at the bottom is 70 kmol/m2.h, and the liquid leaving the column has 8.2 mol% solute in it. The equilibrium relation is given by y 1.05x + 0.32x, x < 0.1. If the overall volumetric mass transfer coefficient is K,ā = 95 kmol/(h)(m)(Ay), calculate the height of the packed section.
