Chemical Engineering > GATE 2011 > Absorption
A gas mixture is in contact with a liquid. Component P in the gas mixture is highly soluble in the liquid. Possible concentration profiles during absorption of P are shown in the choices, where
x: mole fraction of P in bulk liquid
y: mole fraction of P in bulk gas
xi: mole fraction of P at the interface in liquid
yi: mole fraction of P at the interface in gas
y*: equilibrium gas phase mole fraction corresponding to xi
The CORRECT profile is
x: mole fraction of P in bulk liquid
y: mole fraction of P in bulk gas
xi: mole fraction of P at the interface in liquid
yi: mole fraction of P at the interface in gas
y*: equilibrium gas phase mole fraction corresponding to xi
The CORRECT profile is
