Investigation Of The Effect Of Absorption Tower Size Upon Overall Mass Transfer Coefficients, James Robert Murrell
Investigation Of The Effect Of Absorption Tower Size Upon Overall Mass Transfer Coefficients, James Robert Murrell
Masters Theses
"The purpose of this research project was to obtain data and determine whether or not a correlation exists between tower size and the overall mass transfer coefficient for a packed tower. A constant ratio of tower diameter to packing diameter of twelve to one was maintained. Three absorption towers were used; a twelve inch diameter iron tower, a six inch diameter iron tower, and a three inch diameter glass tower. One inch, one-half inch, and one-fourth inch Raschig rings were used in the corresponding towers as packing. The system used was the absorption of acetone by water from an acetone-air …
