Absorption Columns: Interactive Simulation
This simulation will run on your browser. Try to predict the behavior when a parameter changes before using a slider to change that parameter.
Simulation: Operation of an Absorption Column
Try to answer these questions before determining the answer with the simulation. We suggest that you write down the reasons for your answers.
- As the temperature increases, how does the slope of the equilibrium line change? How does the slope of the operating line change? How does the number of stage for a given separation change? Why?
- As the pressure increases, how does the slope of the equilibrium line change? How does the slope of the operating line change? How does the number of stage for a given separation change? Why?
