For an absorber, both equilibrium and operating line will be straight for _______________________?

Correct answer: C. Dilute solution and isothermal operation

  • A. Concentrated solution and non-isothermal operation
  • B. Dilute solution and non-isothermal operation
  • C. Dilute solution and isothermal operation
  • D. Concentrated solution and isothermal operation

Explanation

For dilute mixtures under isothermal conditions, the equilibrium relation is approximately linear and the operating-line material balance is also linear. Concentrated or non-isothermal systems generally introduce curvature or changing properties.
