Mass Transfer
Acetone is to be removed from air in an isothermal dilute absorber using pure water as solvent. The incoming air contains 5 mole% of acetone (yin = 0.05). The design equation to be used for obtaining the number of trays (N) of the absorber is, N+2 = 6 log (yin/yout).For 98% recovery of acetone, the number of trays required is/are

Mass Transfer
For the air water system under ambient conditions, the adiabatic saturation temperature and the wet bulb temperature are nearly equal, because

Lewis number is close to unity
They are always equal under all circumstances
Solubility of the components of air in water is very small
Water has a high latent heat of evaporation
