In gas treatment plant, a tray tower is used to remove 99% of ammonia 17kgkgmol ) in the air (MW=28.97kgkg mol) stream which is coming from reactor outlet. The air stream contains 6mol% ammonia at 30C and 101.325Kpa, which enter the tower at a flowrate of (:128kgh-m2}. The flowrate of pure water kgkgmol ) entering the tray is 188kgh-m2, The equilibrium of the dilute stream is represented by:
y=0.76x
Where: y is the mole fraction of NH3 in the gas phase And, x is the mole fraction of NH3 in the liquid phase
By assuming that the ammonia concentration is sufficiently dilute through the tower that both operating and equilibrium curves are linear.
a) Draw a sketch of the tray tower showing the amounts of inlet and outlet streams including the mole fractions and mole ratio of each stream.
b) Determine the number of theoretical trays (N) graphically.
c) Determine the number of theoretical trays (N) analytically using the Kremser Brown Souders (KBS) equation.
N=ln[yN+1-mx0y1-mx0(1-1A)+1A]lnA
A1=LomV1,AN=LNmVN+1,A1AN,A=A1AN2
OR,A1=LomV1,AN=L2mV2,A=A1A22
