Dr. Dhib s research group was using a wetted wall column to determine the overall mass transfer coefficient ( ) for absorption of ammonia NH3

Dr. Dhib s research group was using a wetted wall column to determine the overall mass transfer coefficient ( ) for absorption of ammonia NH3 in cold water at 2 0C which is 6 vol. percent in the air which normally has a molar mass of 28.96 g/mol. The water flow rate is equal to 1.4 times of gas flow rate. The outside gas concentration is 1.5 vol. percent. A wetted wall column looks like this:

Kmels YA The mass transfer from gas phase to liquid phase is: WA = G(YA, - y^2)=L(X^2 - x^2) WA = is the total mole rate diffusion along the column. At one point in the apparatus the diffusion is as follows: NA = Kog.A. (PA-P) NA = Kog.A.(YA-y) , = Wa = { Koc, .A. (Aya) or WA = KG.A. APL A is the transfer area (dL) in (m). AP.. is the logarithmic mean of partial pressure. The dimensions of the column are 100 cm x 2 cm. It is made of quarts glass. The specific heat of quartz glass at 20C is 670J/kg C. The specific heat of air is 1.01 kJ/kg "C. Henry's law constant is 1.3 Please, help this research group to solve this issue
