For a single component absorber, the operating line is straight only when plotted in term of ______________ units?
Correct answer: B. Mole ratio
- A. Partial pressure
- B. Mole ratio
- C. Mole fraction
- D. None of these
Explanation
For absorption, the operating relationship is linear when expressed using solute-free mole ratios, commonly written as Y versus X. Mole fractions generally introduce a nonlinear conversion because the total flow changes during absorption.
