Suppose a gas absorption tower needs to remove 99% of N2O4 in air. The packing will be 16-mm Pall rings. The gas enters at a rate of 1 lbm/s and contains 1 weight% N2O4 and 99% air at 300 K. The absorbant consists of water entering at 0.2 lbm/s. The N2O4 reacts readily with water. Assume Kya = 100 lbm N2O4/h-ft3-ΔY and the capacity of the column at the flood point is 1,000 lbm gas/h-ft2. The units of y are lbm N2O4/lbm air.Since N2O4 reacts with water readily, assume that all interface concentration is zero and calculate the number of theoretical stages (Nog)
