what is the difference between absorber and scrubbers..

Answer / verma d k

absorber a process equipment are used to remove one or
more gaseous component from gaseous mixture by using
suitable type solvent mostly present in lessr quantity.
Scrubber are basically pollution control equipment used to
scrub out air pollutant ( mainly particultes, and acid
gases) from exhaust system.
Mechanism of Scrubber: inetial impaction or diffusion
method mostly and lesser use of chemical affinity.
Mechanism of absorber: Chemical affinity

what is the difference between absorber and scrubbers..

Answer / pafl

Absorber is used mostly for removal of only gaseous component from gaseous stream using suitable solvent which then is regenerated while scrubber is used to remove pollutant from outgoing gases mostly pollutants are gases (acid gases), particulate, dust etc. while there is no necessary regeneration of solvent in scrubber other assembly is similar in both absorber and scubber

what is the difference between absorber and scrubbers..

Answer / nag

absorber: which seperates the particles based on the
affinity between particles and stationary absorbent.
scrubber: which seperates the heavier particles based on
the velocity principle. when ever heavy particles collides
with scrubber inclined surface, velocity will become zero.

Question 62 – The names of the flow streams could be represented by : H1 for first hot stream, H2 for second hot stream, C1 for first cold stream, C2 for second cold stream. Data of supply temperature Ts in degree Celsius : 150 for H1, 170 for H2, 30 for C1, 30 for C2. Data of target temperature Tt in degree Celsius : 50 for H1, 169 for H2, 150 for C1, 40 for C2. Data of heat capacity Cp in kW / degree Celsius : 3 for H1, 360 for H2, 3 for C1, 30 for C2. (a) Find the enthalpy changes, dH for all streams of flow H1, H2, C1 and C2 in the unit of kW. Take note of the formula dH = (Cp) (Tt - Ts). (b) Match the hot streams H1 and H2 with the suitable cold streams C1 and C2 to achieve the maximum energy efficiency.

CHEMICAL FLUID MECHANIC - EXAMPLE 3.1 : Water flows through a pipe with circular cross sectional area at the rate of V / t = 80 L / s where V is the volume and t is time. Let Av = 80 L / s where A is cross sectional area and v is velocity of fluid. For point 1, the radius of the pipe is 16 cm. For point 2, the radius of the pipe is 8 cm. Find (a) the velocity at point 1; (b) the velocity at point 2; (c) the pressure at point 2 by using Bernoulli's equation where P + Rgy + 0.5 RV = constant. P is the pressure, R = density of fluid, V = square of fluid's velocity, g = gravitational constant of 9.81 N / kg and y = 2 m = difference of height at 2 points. The pressure of point 1 is 180 kPa.

Question 104 - In photoelectrical effect analysis of quantum chemistry, let E = kinetic energy of electron, p = intensity of UV light, f = frequency of UV light. According to Classical Theory, E = c for all values of f, E = mp. According to Quantum Theory, E = c for all values of p, E = mf + c. In a graph, m and c are constants where m is slope and c is y intercept. If m = 2 and c = 3 with similar value of E : (a) find the value of p according to Classical Theory; (b) find the value of f according to Quantum Theory.
