Determination of Minimum Gas Flow Rate
Question
A packed tower is to be designed to remove ammonia from an aqueous liquid stream by stripping with air. The entering liquid has an NH3 mole fraction of 0.0425 and a flow rate of 0.4 kmol/min; the gas is pure air, 80% of the ammonia is to be removed from the liquid. The figure below shows the equilibrium concentrations at 400 C, 1.0 atm.
- Plot a point on the diagram corresponding to the stream entering and leaving the bottom of the column.
- What is the minimum gas flow rate for this situation?
- If the gas leaving has a mole fraction of 0.048 moles NH3 /mol , what is the gas flow rate ?
- Using the log-mean concentration difference method, estimate the number of overall, gas phase transfer units required to produce the gas with a mole fraction of 0.048. discuss whether you think the actual number needed would be higher or lower than this value. Based on your observations of the given diagram.
- Determine the height and diameter needed for the column to operate at 80% of the flooding velocity, using values of: Hy = 1.3 meters, Hx = 0.9 meters, flooding velocity is 2.5 m/s.
Summary: This question belongs to heat transfer and discusses about a packed tower which is designed to remove ammonia from an aqueous liquid. Determines minimum gas flow rate for this situation and height and diameter needed for the column to operate at given percentage of the flooding velocity.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
The online chemical engineering transport phenomenon assignment help experts at HwA are very professional and dedicated to helping us students. Thanks to their efforts I now have a better understanding of the transport phenomenon and also my grades have improved a lot.
Beverly Miller Student
Chemical engineering problems often used to confuse me. I was searching for some experts who can genuinely help with such solutions. I always loved Chemistry but Chemical Engineering was something completely different. I took help from TheReliableTutor on several occasions and so far they have delivered the reports on time.
Sharon Robinson Student
My dream of becoming a software engineer was made real by the programming assignment help experts of HwA. I completed by B. Tech last year from an university in Auckland and the experts knew exactly on how to proceed with all the programming solutions.
Sean Taylor Student
I was apprehensive to begin with. I had bitter experiences with online service providers for assignments and homework essays during my masters. But the online dissertation help expert assigned to me by TheReliableTutor has been extremely responsible and professional in his approach to my subject of choice and the research work has been totally as I had wanted. We are on a good path I feel.
Sylvia Pilger Student
I was completely lost with my Thermodynamics assignment. I approached the HwA team for help and they connected me with the best chem engineering tutor ever. He not only cleared my concepts but also helped me in solving my assignments. Kudos team!

This solution is perfect ...thanks
Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
