Estimation of the Tower Diameter of a Sieve Tray. A distillation sieve$-$tray tower is being used to

distill a hydrocarbon feed. The vapor flow rate at the tower's bottom is $21000k\frac{g}{h}r$ and the liquid

flow rate is $19500k\frac{g}{h}.$ The density of the liquid ${}_L=673k\frac{g}{m^3}$ and ${}_V=3\mathrm{.}68k\frac{g}{m^3}.$ Assume a tray

spacing of $24$ in$.(0\mathrm{.}610m).$ Calculate the tower diameter assuming the tower operates at $80\%$ of

flooding. Assume $=22\mathrm{.}5dy\frac{n}{c}m.$
