2 6 . 2 4 Ammonia, N H 3 , is selectively removed from an air - N H 3 mixture by absorption into water.

26.24 Ammonia, NH3, is selectively removed from an air-NH3 mixture by absorption into water. In this steadystate process, ammonia is transferred by molecular diffusion through a stagnant gas layer 2cm thick, and then through a stagnant water layer 1cm thick as shown in the figure. The concentration of ammionia at the upper boundary of the
gas layer is 3.42mol%, and the concentration at the lower boundary of the water layer is essentially zero. The temperature of the system is 15C and the total pressure on the system is 1atm. The concentration of ammonia (species A) at the interface between the gas and the liquid phase is given by the following equilibrium data:
\table[[PA(mmHg),5.0,10.0,15.0,20.0,25.0,30.0],[cA(molm3),6.1,11.9,20.0,32.1,53.6,84.8]]
Determine the flux of ammonia across both the gas and liquid films. At 15C, the diffusivity of ammonia in air is 0.215cm2s, and the diffusivity of ammonia in liquid water is 1.77x10-5cm2s.
