Calculate the rate of absorption of ammonia from a dilute gaseous mixture with nitrogen by water in a wetted-wall column. The following experimental data are available: Inside diameter of column = 25 mm Average Gas velocity = 250 cm/s Gas Temperature = 25°C Total Pressure = 1 atm At a certain point in the column, the partial pressure of ammonia in N2 is 30 mm Hg and the mole fraction of NH3 in N2 at the gas-side of the interface is 0.005.

Question

Calculate the rate of absorption of ammonia from a dilute gaseous mixture with nitrogen by water in a wetted-wall column. The following
experimental data are available:


Inside diameter of column = 25 mm
Average Gas velocity = 250 cm/s
Gas Temperature = 25°C
Total Pressure = 1 atm


At a certain point in the column, the partial pressure of ammonia in N2
is 30 mm Hg and the mole fraction of NH3 in N2 at the gas-side of the interface is 0.005.
