PROBLEM 2 A packed tower with an inside volume of 300 ft3 is to be used for an ammonia absorption under such conditions that KGa = 2.8 lbmol/ h.atm.ft3 and Henry's law is applicable to the ammonia solution. The pressure difference driving force at the top of the column (p - p*) is 0.009 atm, and the pressure difference driving force at the bottom of the column is 0.090 atm. If 550 lb of ammonia, in addition to the inert gases, enters the tower per hour, what percent of the entering ammonia will be absorbed?
