A packed column is to be used to desorb component A from low concentration in a liquid into a stream of carrier gas. The column is operated in concurrent flow.

Equilibrium data

(a) Develop the general equation of the operating line for concurrent flow in the form y = mx + b, assuming constant L and G.

(b) What is the limiting L/G in molar units?

(c) Is the above L/G_max
or L/G_min?
