An absorber needs to reduce the concentration level of a 5 mercaptan pollutant to 0.3%. A stream of mercaptan-free non-volatile solvent is fed into the top of the tower which flows countercurrently at 0.236 m^3/s. The solvent stream leaves the bottom of the tower containing 3.05 mol% mercaptan. The tower pressure and temperature is 293 K and 1.013x10^5 Pa. Determine the global capacity coefficient, Kya, by graphical integration if the cross-sectional area of the tower is equal to 0.2 m^2. (R= 42.08 mol/s.m^3)

Question
An absorber needs to reduce the concentration level of a 5 mercaptan pollutant to 0.3%. A stream of mercaptan-free non-volatile solvent is fed into the top of the tower which flows countercurrently at 0.236 m^3/s. The solvent stream leaves the bottom of the tower containing 3.05 mol% mercaptan. The tower pressure and temperature is 293 K and 1.013x10^5 Pa.
Determine the global capacity coefficient, Kya, by graphical integration if the cross-sectional area of the tower is equal to 0.2 m^2. (R= 42.08 mol/s.m^3)
