Numerical

The document provides calculations to determine mass transfer coefficients and equilibrium values for a gas-liquid system. It calculates the molecular weight of the entering gas as 35.17 kmol. It then determines the exit gas and liquid compositions will be y1=0.05 and x1=0.0025, respectively, at minimum solvent flow. The minimum solvent rate is calculated as 409.2 kmol/hr/m^2. The operating solvent rate is then determined to be 818.4 kmol/hr/m^2. Finally, it calculates values for the number of transfer units from gas to liquid as 3.53 and height of a transfer unit as 0.885 m.

kmol/(hr)(m2). For minimum solvent rate, the exit liquor will be in equilibrium with the incoming gas. Since y1 = 0.05, we have 0.05 = (20)(x1
min), whence, x1 min = 0.0025 ≈ X1 min From material balance, LM min (0.0025 - 0) = 21.61 (0.0526 - 0.00526) whence, LM min = 409.2
kmol/(hr)(m2) Operating solvent rate = 409.2 # 2 = 818.4 kmol/(hr)(m2). Again, from material balance 818.4(X1 - 0) = 21.61(0.0526 - 0.00526)
