A gas stream containing acetone is to be passed through an equilibrium stage so that the acetone can be absorbed in water stream. The inlet gas contains 1 mol% acetone and has a molar flow rate of 30 kgmol/h. The pure water stream has a molar flow rate of 90 kgmol/h. The process is to operate at constant T and P. The equilibrium relationship for the acetone in the gas-liquid system is y=2.53x. Assume that air and water are immiscible and the molar flow rates entering and leaving the equilibrium stage are constant. Determine the concentration of the vapor and the liquid in the exit stream.

A gas stream containing acetone is to be passed through an equilibrium stage so
that the acetone can be absorbed in water stream. The inlet gas contains 1 mol%
acetone and has a molar flow rate of 30 kgmol/h. The pure water stream has a
molar flow rate of 90 kgmol/h. The process is to operate at constant T and P. The
equilibrium relationship for the acetone in the gas-liquid system is y=2.53x. Assume
that air and water are immiscible and the molar flow rates entering and leaving
the equilibrium stage are constant. Determine the concentration of the vapor and
the liquid in the exit stream.
