For gas absorption, low viscosity solvents are preferred, because of their ____________________?
Correct answer: D. All A., B. and C.
- A. Better flow characteristics
- B. Low pumping pressure drop
- C. Rapid absorption rates
- D. All A., B. and C.
Explanation
Low-viscosity solvents flow more easily, require less pumping pressure, and offer lower liquid-film resistance, which increases absorption rates. Therefore, all three listed effects apply.
