A gas feed stream containing 10.45 mol\% of solute A enters a packed tower operating at 293K and 1atm with a total flowrate of 2.44mol/s. The gas feed has molecular weight =38.87 kg/kmol. It is desired to recover 88.3% of A by scrubbing with a pure solvent B in a countercurrent absorption packed tower. The inlet solvent B flowrate will be 3.869mol/s. The molecular weight, density and viscosity of the outlet liquid stream are 19kg/kmol,999 kg/m3 and 9104 Pa.s, respectively. Fp for the type of packing is 179ft2/ft3. The flooding fraction of the packed tower will be set at f=0.7. Calculate the superficial gas velocity in m/s.
