(d)Rate of stripping
R = 8.314 J/ mol K
T = 21 + 273 = 294K
P = 101.325 kPa
V = 7.4 cm3/s
n = PV/RT
= 101325 Pa x 7.4 x 10-6 m3/s
Therefore mass of CO2 present in 7.4985 x 10-5 m3 = 1.3464 x 10-2 g x 7.4985 x 10-5
2 x 10-6
= 5.048 x 10-1 g
V = 13.8 cm3/s
n = PV/RT
= 101325 Pa x 13.8 x 10-6 m3/s
8.314 J/mol K x 294 K
= 5.72 x 10-4 mol/s
Molar flow rate (mol/s) = Mass flow rate (g/s) / RMM
Mass flow rate (g/s) = molar flow rate (mol/s) x RMM
RMM of CO2 = 12 + 2(16)
= 44 g/mol
Mass flow rate of CO2 = 5.72 x 10-4 mol/s x 44 g/mol
= 2.517 x 10-2 g/s (mass of CO2 in 2mL (2 x 10-6 m3) rich amine)
Calculating the mass of CO2 in 4.5L/min of rich amine:
= 9.437 x 10-1 g
Therefore,
Rate of stripping of CO2 from amine in the regenerator = 9.437 x 10-1 g/s - 5.048 x 10-1 g/s
(e)
Comparing the net rate of CO2 absorption (c) with the rate of stripping in (d):
Rate of stripping - Net rate of absorption = 5.4709 x 10-4 g/s - 4.13756 x 10-4 g/s
= 1.33334 x 10-4 g/ s
= 32.2%
