GASAPPP.....In a plastic manufacturing c0ncern, air is used t0 dry plastic sheets in which acet0ne is used as s0lvent, The acet0ne in the air is rec0vered by abs0rpti0n in pure water in a packed t0wer. 1000 kg-m0l/hr of an air-acet0ne mixture c0ntaining 4 m0le% acet0ne is t0 be scrubbed t0 a mixture c0ntaining 0.06 m0le% acet0ne. The t0wer is t0 be 0perated such that the kg abs0rbing water/kg acet0ne-free air is 1.5. What is the fl0w rate and c0mp0siti0n of the 0utg0ing liquid stream? What is the fl0w rate 0f the exit gas stream at 758 mm Hg and 30°C? Neglect the water vap0r in the exit gas stream.
