Question 55
CHNAT2 marksNeeds review
Gas containing 0.8 mol% component
is to be scrubbed with pure water in a packed bed column to reduce the concentration of
to 0.1 mol% in the exit gas. The inlet gas and water flow rates are 0.1 kmol/s and 3.0 kmol/s, respectively.For the dilute system, both the operating and equilibrium curves are considered linear. If the slope of the equilibrium line is 24, the number of transfer units, based on the gas side,
is ____ (rounded off to 1 decimal place).Log in to check the answer
