2. Absorption system utilized for absorption of solute gas 'A' is shown schematically as follows: Calculate the mass flow rate of solvent to the absorption tower. Lean gas A = 1% mol Solvent (B) Absorption tower Feed gas 1000 m³/h T = 303 K P = 101.325 kPa A = 15 % mol Molecular weight (M_A) = 64 I 85 % mol Solvent (B) A = 1 % mol

Gas containing 2% (by volume) solute A is fed to an absorption tower at a rate of 0.35 m/s at 26°C and 106.658 kPa pressure. 95% of the original solute is removed by absorbing it in solvent B. The solvent, which contains 0.005 mole fraction of solute, enters the tower at the top. The liquid streams exiting the absorption tower contain 0.12 mole of A per mole of B. Find the flow rate of the liquid solvent entering the absorption tower on a solute-free basis.

The absorption of solute A from a mixture is done in a wetted wall column by a solvent at 1 atm and 25°C. The value of the mass transfer coefficient is 9 * 10^-6 m/s. At a point, the mole fraction of A in the liquid-gas interface is 2 * 10^-2 in the liquid phase. The partial pressure of A in the gas phase is 0.08 atm. Henry's law reaction is P = (600)x in atm. Calculate the rate of absorption of A.
