Problem 2 (50 points) An absorber containing 6.5 theoretical plates uses a lean oil with a relative density of 0.845 flowing at the rate of
1400(m^(3))/(d). The molecular weight of the lean oil is 148 . The tower pressure is 5000 kPa and the average temperature for calculation is
36\deg C. The gas flowrate is
1.5\times 10^(6)std
(m^(3))/(d). The analysis of the entering rich gas is shown in table 2 below. Estimate the recovery of each component. Table 2: Composition of the entering rich gas at the bottom of the absorber \table[[Component,
