An absorption operation is required to remove CO2 from a 250 kmol/hr flue gas stream using an aquaeous 20 mole% MEA solution supplied at a flow rate of 1.5 times the minimum. The gas feed contains 13 mole% CO2 in air, and the exhaust gas stream should contain no more than 0.7 mole% CO2. The supplied MEA solution contains 1.1 mole% CO2. This absorption operation column has internal height and diameter of 10 and 1 m, respectively. The column should be designed for a pressure drop of 0.5 inches H2O per foot of packing.
a) Determine the mole% CO2 in the liquid stream leaving the column and determine the number of transfer units.

A 10.00-cm shaft rides in a 10.03-cm sleeve 12 cm long, the clearance space being filled with lubricating oil at 40oC (μ=0.11 Pa-s). Calculate the energy, in W, generated when the shaft turns at 100 rpm
2. An organic liquid leaves a reactor at 70ºC and it is necessary to reduce its temperature to 45ºC before the next unit operation. A shell-and-tube heat exchanger is to be used, and the organic liquid will flow on the shell side. The exchanger has 110 tubes, and the coolant in the tubes will be water entering at 15ºC. The tubes have a single pass – i.e. the water is divided across all tubes equally and flows just once through the exchanger. The total flow rate of water is of 75,000 kg h−1 , and the water exits the exchanger at 28 ºC. Using the Information Sheet where appropriate, determine:
a) the flow rate of the process liquid (in kg s−1 ), [5 marks]
b) the log mean temperature difference if the streams are in countercurrent flow, [5 marks]
c) the tube-side film heat transfer coefficient if the tubes have an inside diameter of 14.8 mm, [10 marks]
d) the heat transfer area if the overall heat transfer coefficient is 1100 W m−2K−1 . [5 marks]

It is required to absorb 95 % of the acetone from a mixture with nitrogen containing 1.5% mol% of the compound in a counter current tray tower. The total gas input is 30 kmol/h and water enter the tower at a rate of 90 kmol/h. The tower operates at 300K and 1 atm. The equilibrium relation is y =2.53x. Determine the number of ideal trays necessary for this separation. Use the graphical method as well as the Kremser analytical method.
