Complete answer
Civil Engineering
5 An air stripping tower is to be designed to lower the
ethylbenzene (C,H10) concentration in a contaminated
groundwater from 5 mg/L to 30 ug/L. The water flow
rate is 700 m /d, the mass transfer coefficient (K, a) for
ethylbenzene is 0.015 s-1, and the dimensionless
Henry's constant for toluene is 0.27. Assume a
stripping factor of 3 and packing factor of 40 and a
pressure drop of 100 N/(m2-m). The air and water
temperature are 20°C, resulting in p, = 998.2 kg/m',
P = 1.204 kg/m', and u, = 1.002 x 10-3 N-s/m2.
Determine the following:
a. Theoretical air flow rate (m³/min).
b. Diameter of the stripping tower (m).
c. Height of the stripping tower (m).
