22.5-4. minimum liquid flow in a packed tower. the gas stream from a chemical reactor contains 25 mol % ammonia and the rest are inert gases. the total flow is 181.4 kg mol/h to an absorption tower at 303 k and 1.013 × 105 pa pressure, where water containing 0.005 mol frac ammonia is the scrubbing liquid. the outlet gas concentration is to be 2.0 mol % ammonia. what is the minimum flow l min ⁡ ′ using 1.5 times the minimum, plot the equilibrium and operating lines. ans. l min ⁡ ′ = 262.6kg mol/h

A3-mm-thick panel of aluminum alloy (k 177 w/m-k, c 875 j/kg-k and ? = 2770 kg/m) is finished on both sides with an epoxy coating that must be cured at or above t,-150°c for at least 5 min. the production line for the curing operation involves two steps: (1) heating in a large oven with air at ts,0-175°c and a convection coefficient of h, 40 w/m2. k, and (2) cooling in a large chamber with air at 25°c and a con- vection coefficient of he 10 w/m2.k. the heating portion of the process is conducted over a time interval te which exceeds the ime required to reach 150°c by 5 min (h = r + 300 s). the coating has an emissivity of ? = 0.8, and the temperatures of the oven and chamber walls are 175 and 25°c, respectively. if the panel is placed in the oven at an initial temperature of 25°c and removed from the chamber at a safe-to-touch tempera ture of 37°c, what is the total elapsed time for the two-step curing operation?
