On my attempt to develop a model for c02 removal in natural gas by absortion..

i was to develop the model for structured and random packed absorber. NOW, HERE IS MY QUESTION.

WILL MY MODEL EQUATION DEVELOPED BE DIFFERENT?( will random packed absorber have a different model from structured packed).

for me i dont think so, because if i am to take material balance, inflow of both process will be the same, and likewise outflow...

please help me with the answer and the reference that will help me..My supervisor is not helping matters..

thanks.

They will be slightly different, especially for CO2 absorption. Random packing is a little less efficient, meaning you will need more packing for the same amount of contact time. CO2 absorption is largely based on reaction kinetics and residence time.

 

I have to ask why are you reinventing the wheel? Models like ProMax not only model Koch and Sulzer packings, but it already has the reaction kinetics included.
