Question

The absorber of Examples is being scaled up by a factor of 15, so a column with an 11.5-ft diameter will be needed. Because of the 30% efficiency for the original tray, a new design has been developed and tested in an Oldershaw column. The resulting Murphree vapor-point efficiency, EOV, for the new tray design for this system is 55%. Estimate EMV and Eo. To estimate the length of the liquid flow path, ZL, use Figure. Assume that u/DE =6 ft-1.
