Chlorine is being absorbed from a gas in a small experimental wetted wall tower as shown in the figure. The absorbing fluid is water, which is moving with an average velocity of 17.7 cm/s. What is the absorption rate of chlorine in the fluid, in moles/hr? The liquid-phase diffusivity of the chlorine-water system is 1.26 10!" cm2/s, and the saturation concentration of chlorine in water is 0.823 g chlorine per 100 g water. The dimensions of the column are given in the figure. Please state all your assumptions and derive all the expressions. You can begin with the conservation equations as the starting point.

The absorbing fluid is water, which is moving with an average velocity of 17.7 cm/s. What is the absorption rate of chlorine in the fluid, in moles/hr? The liquid-phase diffusivity of the chlorine-water system is 1.26 x 10-5 cm/s, and the saturation concentration of chlorine in water is 0.823 g chlorine per 100 g water. The dimensions of the column are given in the figure. Please state all your assumptions and derive all the expressions. You can begin with the conservation equations as the starting point.
