Question 51
CHNAT2 marksNeeds review
A countercurrent absorption tower is designed to remove 95% of component A from an incoming binary gas mixture using pure solvent B. The mole ratio of A in the inlet gas is 0.02. The carrier gas flow rate is 50 kmol/h. The equilibrium relation is given by
, where Y and X are the mole ratios of A in the gas and liquid phases, respectively. If the tower is operated at twice the minimum solvent flow rate, the mole ratio of A in the exit liquid stream is __________ (rounded off to three decimal places).Log in to check the answer
