Question
B) The gas stream shown in Table below is fed to an isothermal absorber operating at 90°F and 75 psia. 90% of the n-butane is to be removed by contact with a lean oil stream (sp. gr.= 0.825, μ=1.2 cp, Mwt=120). Estimate the required number of actual plate and lean oil flow rate if an inlet rate of 1.1 times the minimum is used. Component Methane Ethane Propane i-Butane n-Butane- i-Pentane n-Pentane Heavy Oil 90°F K 75 psia 42.5 7.3 2.25 0.88 0.65 0.28 0.225 0 Feed Gas In (mols/hr) 1,639.2 165.8 94.9 17.8 93.6 7.9 15.8 1 1,975.0
