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 / nag

absorber: which seperates the particles based on the
affinity between particles and stationary absorbent.
scrubber: which seperates the heavier particles based on

Question 109 - (a) Acceptable wavefunction in quantum mechanics in the range of : negative infinity < x < positive infinity, vanishes at least at one boundary. Which of the following is the wavefunction or are the wavefunctions of acceptable theory : P = x, P = | x |, P = sin x, P = exp (-x), P = exp (-| x |)? State the reason. (b) Let linear momentum operator P = -ih d / dz. The wavefunction is S = exp (-ikz) where i x i = -1, k and h are constants. Find the linear momentum of such wavefunction by using the term P x S.
