Need help with tower calculations? Find the tower diameter and height
Thread Content
The mass fraction is 41% methanol, 5% sulfuric acid, 50% water, and 4% organic matter (based on aniline); the total feed rate is approximately 5 t/h. The required concentration of recovered methanol is over 97%. What are the diameter and height of the tower? ? The filler is likely to be ceramic. . .
This is a small process package, right? I’m having trouble solving the issues; please help
I’ve done some simple calculations myself, but since they involve industrial applications I’m not sure about their accuracy; could an expert please verify them?
This problem is very similar to my university graduation project back then; it’s a shame I don’t know how to solve it anymore: lol. I’ll have to go through the principles of chemical engineering again
Does anyone know a complete method for calculating towers or have any book recommendations?
Towers are rarely accessed and aren’t taken into account; check the textbook on chemical engineering principles
If it’s necessary to calculate the tower specifications, should I ask for help here?
You can share your calculation process and reasoning, so everyone can discuss whether it’s reasonable. Asking others to do the calculations for you isn’t practical. . . .
