PROBLEM 2
A packed tower with an inside volume of 300 ft³ is to be used for an ammonia absorption under
such conditions that Kaa = 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?
