30.21 The wetted-well column shown in Figure 30.4 is used to humidify a pressurized air stream. Bone-dry air (containing no water vapor) at 2.0 atm and 27°C is introduced to the bottom of the column at a volumetric flow rate of 4000 cm /s. Liquid water is added to the top of the column. The liquid water uniformly coats the inner surface of the tube as a thin liquid film flowing downward. The falling liquid film of water evaporates into the air flowing upward. The wetted-wall column has an inner diameter of 5.0 cm and a length of 6.0 m. The column temperature is maintained at 27°C, and the total system pressure is maintained at 2.0 atm. At 27°C, the kinematic viscosity of air is 0.157 cm2/s and the vapor pressure of liquid water is 0.035 atm. The gas is ideal with R = 82.06 cm³. atm/g mol · K. a. What is the diffusion coefficient of water vapor in air at 2.0 atm and 27°C? b. Determine the Sherwood number for the gas phase. c. Evaluate the gas film coefficient, keG, based on the partial pressure driving force.
