(c) Ammonia is absorbed at 1 bar from an ammonia-air stream by passing it up a vertical tube, down which dilute sulphuric acid is flowing. The following laboratory data have been provided for this process; a. Length of Reactor Tube = 1920 mm b. Diameter of Reactor Tube = 135 mm c. Partial Pressure of Ammonia; i. Inlet = 15.75 kN/m2 ii. Outlet = 8.75 kN/m2 d. iii Air rate = 3.8x10-5kmol/s Calculate the overall transfer coefficient KG based on the gas phase? (8 marks)

Step 1
The formula for the area of a cylinder is πd^2/4. So, the area of the reactor tube is π*(0.135 m)^2/4 = 0.0143 m^2. Show more…

Ammonia enters a control volume operating at steady state at $p_{1}=14$ bar, $T_{1}=28^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, with a mass flow rate of $0.5 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{s}$. Saturated vapor at 4 bar leaves through one exit, with a volumetric flow rate of $1.036 \mathrm{~m}^{3} / \mathrm{min}$, and saturated liquid at 4 bar leaves through a second exit. Determine (a) the minimum diameter of the inlet pipe, in $\mathrm{cm}$, so the ammonia velocity does not exceed $20 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. (b) the volumetric flow rate of the second exit stream, in $\mathrm{m}^{3} / \mathrm{min}$
