Question

One hundred kmol/h of air containing 20 mol% Cl2 enters a
packed bed, wherein 95% of the Cl2 is absorbed by water at 20C
and 1 atm. Using the given x–y equilibrium data below, obtain:
(a) minimum water rate in kg/h, and (b) NOG for twice the minimum
water rate. Equilibrium data at 20C in Cl2 mole fractions is:
