Transcribed Image Text:Q1 / Ammonia is to be removed from a 12 per cent ammonia-air mixture by
countercurrent scrubbing with water in a packed tower at 293 K so that 98 per cent of the
ammonia is removed when working at a total pressure of 101.3 kN/m2. If the gas rate is 0.065
kmole/m2s of tower cross-section and the liquid rate is 0.095 kmole/m2s, find the necessary
height of the tower if the absorption coefficient KGa = 0.0015 kmol /m3s(KN/m2) partial
pressure difference. The equilibrium data are:
