CHEM 3002 MASS TRANSFER /2011-2012

Tutorial Sheet No.3


QUESTION ONE (10.3-2): Absorption in a Countercurrent Stage Tower
Repeat Example 10.3-2 using the same conditions but with the following change. Use a pure water flow to the tower of 108 kg mol H2O/h, that is, 20% above the 90 used in Example 10.3-2. Determine the number of stages required graphically. Repeat, using the analytical Kremser equation.

QUESTION TWO (10.5-1): Countercurrent Water-Cooling Tower.


A forced-draft countercurrent water-cooling tower is to cool water from 43.3 to 26.7C. The air enters the bottom of the tower at 23.9C with a wet bulb temperature of 21.1C. The value of HG for the flow conditions is HG = 0.533 m. The heat-transfer resistance in the liquid phase will be neglected; that is, hL is very large. Hence, values of should be used. Calculate the tower height needed if 1.5 times the minimum air rate is used.

QUESTION THREE (10.6-12): Pressure Drop and Tower Diameter


Use the same conditions as in Example 10.6-1 but with the following changes. The gas feed rate is 2000 lbm/h and the design ratio of GL/GG is 2.2/1. Using 60% of flooding and 1 in Intalox packing, calculate the pressure drop, gas and liquid flows, and tower diameter

QUESTION FOUR: Stripping of Acetone


We will strip acetone from water into an air stream. Operation is isothermal at 20 o C and at a total pressure of 278 mmHg. The entering liquid is 16 mole% acetone. The entering liquid flow rate is 10 kg moles/hr. We desire the exiting liquid to be 1 mole % acetone. The entering air is pure. Assume that the water is nonvolatile and the air is insoluble. Equilibrium data at 20 o C:

a. Find the minimum flow rate of air b. If the air flow rate is 4 kgmole/hr, find the number of equilibrium stages (N) using the graphical method c. Perform the same calculation (find N) using the Kremser equation
