Liquid Flow Rate of NH3 Solution
Question
Water is used to absorb NH3 (mole fraction 0.1) from air at 1 atm in a counter current operation. The gas mixture at 313 K is fed to the bottom of the column at a flow rate of 0.556 m3/s and a velocity of 1.2 m/s. Water is introduced to the column from the top. Due to the enthalpy of dissolution, the temperature of the ammonium water is higher at the bottom of the column. The temperature and composition distribution in the liquid phase from top to bottom of the column, with corresponding gas phase equilibrium compositions are described by Table 1.
Table 1.

1. If the recovery of NH3 is 95%, assuming air is totally inert, please determine the theoretical minimum liquid flow rate Lmin, (kg/s)
2. If the real liquid flow rate is 1.1 times of the theoretical minimum, and if the KGa is known to be 0.0556 kmol/(m3.s), please determine the diameter of the column, (m).
3. Please determine the height of the packings (m), based on the above information
Summary
This question belongs to thermal engineering and discusses about mass transfer and absorptions.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
I moved to Australia from the UK to pursue my masters degree in criminal law. I was having trouble adapting to the difference in the teaching pattern and needed just that extra boost from my tutor in a timely manner. HwA law tutors have never disappointed me and they have been providing me all the support I need in a timely manner."
Grover Baine Student
I was really unsure about using the forms and classes in visual basic programming language when I came across HwA. The visual basic assignment expert here has deep insight and knowledge and I think as they are professional involved in visual basic programming, they tend to solve the assignments much more accurately and that too in no time.
Simon Bruke Student
I was really stuck with a case study concerning intestinal obstruction patient care when I came across HwA. Didn’t know that any other website provides such specific nursing assignment solution help. Was really grateful and will certainly recommend other fellow nursing students to come and take help from this site.
Wayne Reed Student
The timely and professional manner in which my economics thesis writing expert interacted with me throughout the process really impressed me. The knowledge and research of the expert on the topic that I had selected was absolutely flawless and really in-depth. My professor was very happy with the proposal and the consequent thesis paper. Thank you HwA!
Graham Hailey Student
I was really worried about my nursing ethics case study assignment which was related to the issue of nurses sharing their photos along with their patients’ in the internet. I was confused about what stand to take when I came across HwA. That was the first work they did for me. From there it only got better. I am now thinking of doing my MN and will definitely seek their help for that.

hi can anyone help or guide me to my assignments. thanks
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
