Air containing 1 . 7 % by volume S O 2 is scrubbed with pure water in a packed column of 1 . 2 m

Air containing 1.7% by volume SO2 is scrubbed with pure water in a packed column of 1.2m2 in cross sectional area and 3.2m in packed height. Entering gas and liquid flow rates are, respectively, 0.062 and 2.2kmols. If the outlet mole fraction of SO2 in the gas is 0.005 and column temperature is near-ambient with KSO2=40, calculate:
a)NOG(number of overall gas-phase transfer units) for absorption of SO2(3 marks, A&A 1.4)
b)HOG(height of an overall transfer unit based on the gas phase) in meters (2 marks, A&A 1.4)
c) Kya (volumetric mass-transfer coefficient for the gas phase based on a mole-fraction driving force) for SO2 in kmol/m^3 s
