2. In an absorption process, solute A is recovered from an inert carrier gas B into a solvent. The flow rate of the entering gas phase into the absorber is 500 kgmol/h with ya = 0.3. The gas exiting the absorber has ya= 0.01. Flow rate of solvent entering absorber is 1500 kgmol/h with xa = 0.001. The equilibrium relationship is given by ya = 2.8xa. We assume the carrier gas is nonsoluble in the solvent and the solvent is also nonvolatile. Construct the x-y plots for the equilibrium and operating lines using both mole fraction and solute- free coordinates. La Va , YA,a Lb Vb XA,b YA,b
