Determine the sizing of a desorber for the following conditions: feed alkanolamine liquid flowrate is 4 m3/h, feed gas flowrate is air at 14 kgmol/h. The density of air is 1.188 kg/m3 and density of liquid is 998 kg/m3. The liquid viscosity is 0.998 kg/m/s. The desorption column is to be packed with 35-mm plastics Pall rings. The column should be operated at 50% flooding.

Acetaldehyde, CH3CHO, may be produced by the reaction of ethylene with oxygen in
the presence of a tetrachloropalladate catalyst according to the reaction:
2 CH2CH2+ O2? 2 CH3CHO
In an undesired side reaction some of the ethylene is oxidized to produce carbon
dioxide and water,
CH2CH2+ 3 O2? 2 CO2 + 2 H2O
A catalytic reactor is fed with a mixture of ethylene and oxygen only, and only the two
above reactions occur. The exit stream contains gas with the following composition:
CH2CH2 18.5 mol %
O2 unknown
CH3CHO 47.0 mol %
CO2 6.1 mol %
H2O unknown
Calculate:
a)The composition of the feed mixture.
b)The excess O2(expressed as a percentage).
c) The conversion of ethylene (expressed as a percentage).
d) The yield of acetaldehyde (expressed as a percentage).
e) The selectivity (expressed as a ratio).

A small water pump is used for an irrigation project. The pump takes water in from a river at 10oC, 100 kPa at a mass flow rate of 16.83 kg/s. The exit line enters a pipe that goes up to an elevation 26.15 mm above the pump and river, where the water runs into an open channel. Assume the process is adiabatic and that the water stays at 10 oC. Find the required pump work.

Is there a minimum reflux ratio for the batch distillation? If so, how can we determine it experimentally? Please help me with this. I'm not sure since batch operates like one stage but the slope of the rectifying section is the same? Is it the same way as finding Rmin for Continuous distillation? Thanks!

2. A chemical engineer is monitoring the concentration of chemicals as a function of time in a cylindrical batch reactor of radius R and height H, running at full capacity. The following reaction takes place in the batch reactor: A + 2B ↔ 3C The rates of the forward and reverse reactions follow mass action kinetics; assume rate constants as appropriate.
a) At t=0, the reactor contains zero moles of C and non-zero moles of A and B. If the reactor conditions (e.g. temperature) are always maintained such that the forward reaction is dominant (i.e. safe to assume reverse reaction can be neglected in this case), derive expressions for the concentration of A, B, and C as a function of time for the two cases
i. nA0 >> nB0
ii. nB0 >> nA0
b) If the reactor conditions allow for the reversible reaction to proceed, write out all the unsteady state materials balances for A, B and C in this batch reactor. (Simplify as much as you can but no need to solve)
