In a packed absorption column, 3 . 6 0 % in molar composition Pure water with a flow rate of 1 3 kmol / h

In a packed absorption column, 3.60% in molar composition
Pure water with a flow rate of 13 kmol/h is used to recover ammonia in the air-ammonia mixture containing ammonia vapor. The inert gas flow rate in the column is 10 kmol/h and the molar composition of the gas stream leaving the process contains 0.80% ammonia.
The absorption column is operated at 15\deg C and 101.32 kPa pressure. Film coefficients under these conditions;
k,a=8x10 kmol/m^3s and k,a=4x10 kmol/m^3s.
Using the (x-y) balance diagram given in the appendix;
a) Find the equilibrium compositions for the upper region of the column (1)
b) Find the equilibrium compositions for the lower region of the column (2).
c) Using the liquid side volumetric film mass transfer coefficient, calculate the required column height (2) for a column with a diameter of 2 m.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Perform the calculations with a precision of 4 after the decimal point.
Since I cannot add the image, I am writing the parts of the column:
(upper region of the column (1))
gas output (y1)=0.0080
pure solvent (x1)=0
(lower region of the column (2))
gas input (y2)=0.036
liquid output (x2)=?
