D6.* Design a stripping column to remove carbon dioxide from water by heating the water and passing it countercurrently to a nitrogen stream in a staged stripper. Operation is isothermal and isobaric at 60.0°C and 1.0 atm pressure. Feed water contains 9.2 x 10-6 mole fraction CO₂ and flows at 100,000 lb/h. Entering nitrogen is pure and flows at 2500.0 ft³/h. Nitrogen is at 1.0 atm and 60.0°C. Outlet water concentration is 2.0 × 10−7 mole fraction CO₂. Ignore nitrogen solubility in water, and ignore water volatility. Equilibrium data are in Table 12-1. Use a Murphree vapor efficiency of 40.0%. Find the outlet vapor composition and the number of real stages needed.
