Heptadecane (A) is being absorbed from a dilute gaseous mixture with 1-Octyne (B) by Hydrochloric Acid in a wetted wall column. The following experimental data are available:
a. Inside diameter = 43 mm
b. Average gas velocity = 250 cm/s
c. Gas Temperature = 50 °C
d. Total Pressure = 1 atm
At a certain point in the column, the partial pressure of A in B is 30 mmhg and the mol fraction of Heptadecane at the gas side of the interface is 0.009. Predict the mass diffusivity using Fuller et. al. equation. Calculate the rate of absorption of A.
First we have to calculate Diffusivity value then after General convective mass transfer equation should be taken and derive flux equation in terms of average Velocity or bulk motion of gases.
