If G = insoluble gas in gas stream and L = non-volatile solvent in liquid stream, then the slope of the operating line for the absorber is___________________?
Correct answer: A. L/G
- A. L/G
- B. G/L
- C. Always < 1
- D. None of these
Explanation
For an absorber with insoluble gas and non-volatile solvent, the operating-line slope on a solute-free basis is L/G. Here L and G are the molar flow rates of the liquid solvent and insoluble gas, respectively.
