A packed column is used to absorb SO2 from a gas mixture containing 8 mol% SO2 and 92% air. The flow rate of the feed gas is 440 kg / h. SO2 concentration of the outlet gas stream should not exceed 0.5%. At a rate of 14000 kg / hr, H2O is fed to the column as a liquid stream. Under these operating conditions, the equilibrium relation can be expressed as y = 33,33x. If the transfer unit height of the gas phase is Hoy = 0.60 m, a. Total number of transfer sheets (Noy) b. Calculate the total fill height (zT). NOTE: The gas flow rate through the column can be assumed to be constant. The liquid in the xA0 mole fraction and the vapor in the yA1 * mole fraction are in equilibrium. The liquid in the xA1 mole fraction and the vapor in the yA0 * mole fraction are in equilibrium
