What is the degree of freedom of an absorption process in which only one component is transferred between phases ?
Correct answer: C. 3
- A. 1
- B. 2
- C. 3
- D. 4
Explanation
Under the standard simplified absorption-process formulation with one solute transferred between two phases, three independent process variables remain after applying the material-balance and equilibrium relationships. Thus the stated degree of freedom is three.
