EXAMPLE 1 8 . 4 . A gas stream with 6 . 0 percent N H 3 ( dry basis ) and a flow rate

EXAMPLE 18.4. A gas stream with 6.0 percent NH3(dry basis) and a flow rate of
at {:0C,1(atm)) is to be scrubbed with water to lower the concen-
tration to 0.02 percent. The absorber will operate at atmospheric pressure with inlet
temperatures of 20 and 25C for the gas and liquid, respectively. The gas is saturated
with water vapor at the inlet temperature and can be assumed to leave as a saturated gas
at 25C. Calculate the value of NOy if the liquid rate is 1.25 times the minimum.
Solution. The following solubility data are given by Perry. ?15a
The temperature at the bottom of the column must be calculated to determine the mini-
mum liquid rate.
Basis. 100gmol of dry gas in, containing 94mol of air and 6mol of NH3. The
outlet gas contains 94mol of air.
The moles of ammonia in the outlet gas, since ya=0.0002, are
94(0.00020.9998)=0.0188molNH3
The amount of ammonia absorbed is then 6-0.0188=5.98mol.
Heat effects. The heat of absorption is 5.988,310=49,690 cal. Call this Qa. Then
Qa=Qsy+Qv+Qsx
where Qsy= sensible-heat change in gas
Qv= heat of vaporization
Qsx= sensible heat change in liquid
The sensible-heat changes in the gas are
Qair=94mol7.0calmol*C5C=3,290cal
QH2O=2.48.05=96cal
Qsy=3,290+96=3,390cal

I want to know how the 0.0125,0.00780, and 0.00138 in the table come out.
I tried to get it right, but the answer is not right
