A wastewater stream flowing at the rate of 600 gpm (gallons per minute) and containing 10 ppm (parts per million by weight) benzene is to be stripped with air in a packed column operating at 25 °C and 2 atm absolute pressure to produce water containing 0.005 ppm benzene. The packing is 1-inch Berl saddles. The solubility of liquid benzene in water at 25 °C is 0.180 g per 100 g of water. An expert has suggested using a flow rate of air of 1,000 scfm (standard cubic feet per meter) of air (60°F, 1 atm), at which condition one should achieve for the mass transfer of benzene:
k_La = 0.067 s⁻¹ and k_Ga = 0.80 s⁻¹
Determine:
(a) The minimum air stripping rate in scfm. Is it less than the rate suggested by the expert? If not, use 1.4 times your minimum value.
(b) The stripping factor based on the air rate suggested by the expert.
(c) The number of transfer units, NOG, required.
(d) The overall mass-transfer coefficient, KGa, in units of mol/m³-s-kPa and s⁻¹. Which phase controls mass transfer?
(e) The volume of packing in cubic meters.

Listen base your answer to the question on the information below. propane is a fuel that is sold in rigid, pressurized cylinders. most of the propane in a cylinder is liquid, with gas in the space above the liquid level. when propane is released from the cylinder, the propane leaves the cylinder as a gas. propane gas is used as a fuel by mixing it with oxygen in the air and igniting the mixture, as represented by the balanced equation below. c3h8(g) + 5o2(g) → 3co2(g) + 4h2o() + 2219.2 kja small amount of methanethiol, which has a distinct odor, is added to the propane to consumers detect a propane leak. in methanethiol, the odor is caused by the thiol functional group (–sh). methanethiol, ch3sh, has a structure that is very similar to the structure of methanol. what is the correct structural formula for a molecule of methanethiol
