Packed Tower Mass Transfer Analysis

The document outlines a tutorial on the design of a packed tower for stripping component A from an aqueous stream into a counter-flowing air stream. It provides specific parameters such as concentrations, mass-transfer coefficients, and operating conditions, and poses questions regarding the calculation of individual gas and liquid-film coefficients, interfacial gas concentration, and overall liquid mass-transfer coefficient. The tutorial emphasizes the application of Henry's law in the context of the system's operation.

. A packed tower has been designed to strip component A from an aqueous stream into a
counter-flowing air stream. At a given plane in the tower, the concentrations of the two adjacent
streams are pA,G = 4 x 103 Pa and CA, L = 4 kgmol/m3 of solution. Under the given flow
conditions, the overall gas mass-transfer coefficient, KG is equal to 2.46 x 10 -8 kgmol/m2.s .Pa
and 60% of the resistance to mass transfer is encountered in the gas phase. At the tower’s
operating condition of 290 oK and 1.013 X105 Pa, the system satisfies Henry’s law with a
Henry’s law constant of 1400 Pa/(kgmol/m 3).
Determine
a. the individual gas-film coefficient, kG; the individual liquid-film coefficient, kL;
c. the interfacial gas concentration, p Ai;
d. the overall liquid mass-transfer coefficient, KL.
