Question

A packed tower uses an organic amine to absorb CO_2. The entering gas, which contains 1.26 mol % CO_2 is to leave with only 0.04 mol % CO_2. The amine enters pure, without CO_2. If the amine left in equilibrium with the entering gas (which it doesn't), it would contain 0.80 mol % CO_2. The gas flow is 2.3 mol/s, the liquid flow is 4.8 mol/s, the tower's diameter is 40 cm, and the overall mass transfer coefficient times the area per volume (Kya) is 5x10^-5 mol/cm^3*s. How tall should the tower be?
