Question

1. Ammonia is absorbed in water from a mixture with air using a column operating at atmospheric pressure and 295 K. The resistance to transfer can be regarded as lying entirely in a gas film 1 mm thick. At a point in the column the partial pressure of the ammonia is 6.6 kN/m². a) What is the transfer rate per unit area at that point in the column? b)If the gas was compressed to 200 kN/m² pressure, how would the transfer rate will be altered? (40p).

Step 1

Since the resistance to transfer lies entirely in the gas film, we can assume that the concentration of ammonia at the interface with the water is zero. Fick's Law: $$N_A = -D_{AB} \frac{dC_A}{dz}$$ Where: $N_A$ is the molar flux of ammonia (transfer rate per Show more…
