10.37 Calculate product rates and compositions, stage temperatures, and interstage vapor and liquid flow rates and compositions
for an absorber having four equilibrium stages with the specifications in Figure 10.37. Assume the oil is nClo.
10.38 In Example 10.4, temperatures of the gas and oil, as they
pass through the absorber, increase substantially. This limits the extent of absorption. Repeat the calculations with a heat exchanger
that removes 500,000 Btuh from:

Stage 5.
10.39 Calculate product rates and compositions, stage temperatures, and interstage vapor and liquid flow rates and compositions
for the absorber shown in Figure 10.38.
10.40 Determine product compositions, stage temperatures, interstage flow rates and compositions, and reboiler duty for the reboiled absorber shown in Figure 10.39. Repeat the calculations
without the interreboiler and compare both sets of results. Is the interreboiler worthwhile? Should an intercooler in the top section of
the column be considered?
10.41 Calculate the product compositions, stage temperatures, interstage flow rates and compositions, and reboiler duty for the reboiled stripper shown in Figure 10.40.
