The absorption factor is defined as (where, L = liquid flow rate, G = gas flow rate and, m = slope of the equilibrium line) ?
Correct answer: A. L/mG
- A. L/mG
- B. G/mL
- C. mL/G
- D. LG/m
Explanation
The absorption factor compares the liquid carrying capacity with the gas-phase resistance and is defined as A = L/(mG). Here, m is the slope of the equilibrium relation y = mx.
