PROBLEM-9 (A)
A cylinder of UF6, 6 mm in diameter is exposed to an air
stream flowing at a velocity of 3 m/s. The surface temperature
of the solid is 43oC, at which temperature the vapor pressure
of UF6 is 400 mm Hg (53.32 kN/m2). The bulk air is at 1 atm
and 60oC.
(a) Estimate the film coefficient and overall mass transfer coefficient
based on gas phase and liquid phase.
(b) Calculate molar flux based on each phase.
PROBLEM-13
It is desired to absorb 95% of acetone by water from a mixture
of acetone and nitrogen containing 1.5% of the component in a
countercurrent tray tower. Total gas input is 30 kmol/hr and
water enters the tower at a rate of 90 kmol/hr. The tower
operates at 27ºC and 1 atm. The equilibrium relation is
Y=2.53X.
