( b ) Use the following data to calculate the diameter and height of a contactor column used for dehydration of natural gas with triethylene

(b) Use the following data to calculate the diameter and height of a
contactor column used for dehydration of natural gas with triethylene
glycol. The contactor has 14 bubble cap trays spaced at 30 in apart
and the space between the top tray and the demister pad is 1.5 times
the trays spacing.
Contactor pressure =785.3 psig
Gas inlet temperature =89\deg F
Gas outlet temperature =32\deg F
Compressibility factor =0.89
Volumetric flow rate to contactor =80 MMscfd
Specific gravity of gas =0.59
Specific gravity of TEG =1.11
Souders brown constant 660 ft/hr
R =10.73 psia.ft3/lb.mol \deg R
