For a packed absorption tower under certain operating conditions, if the packing height in the tower is increased, how does the number of mass transfer units change? I’ve seen many answers online stating that HoG remains unchanged while NoG increases, but the answer given at my school is that NoG stays the same. This has left me confused – does an increase in tower packing refer to HoG or H? I’m really stuck now; H = HoG × NoG
As I understand it, increasing the packing layer height means raising the packing layer height in each unit; that is, increasing the Hog value
