Question: OUESTION 2 [ 2 4 Marks ] You are tasked with designing a 1 . 5 6 m wide gas absorption system for removing carbon

OUESTION 2[24 Marks]
You are tasked with designing a 1.56m wide gas absorption system for removing carbon dioxide from flue gas in a coal-fired power plant. The coal plant generates large quantities of flue gas (115kgmin) containing significant amounts of carbon dioxide (22.8mol%), a major greenhouse gas contributing to climate change. Monoethanolamine, along with carbon dioxide, enters the column at 777 and 5kgmin, respectively. The goal is to evaluate the absorption system that can effectively capture CO2 from the flue gas, allowing for its sequestration or utilization while minimizing energy consumption and operational costs. If the concentration of monoethanolamine leaving the column is 90mol%, estimate the molar ratios in every stream and the composition of carbon dioxide exiting with the gas stream. Hint: MWflue=27.7kgkmol
NOTE: This is a chemical engineering probles in separation process module. liquid-liquid extraction.
Note: keep the units to kg/min
