An absorption column is used to absorb \( 99 \% \) of the ammonia in the air-ammonia gas mixture with water. The ammonia content in the incoming gas mixture is \( 30 \% \). The column operates at \( 30{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \) and 1 atm. What is the minimum fluid flow rate? Find the number of shelves required when the operation curve is drawn using the \( 1.5 \) times factor. A basic 1 mole of let gas can be taken into the solution. e equilibrium curve is linear and is given as \( \mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{A}}=1.74 \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{A}} \).
