Worked Example

Verified calculation

Given:

  • Inlet CO2 mole fraction in gas phase = 0.12
  • Outlet CO2 mole fraction in gas phase = 0.0004
  • CO2 loading in rich amine (mol CO2 / mol amine) = 0.45
  • CO2 loading in lean amine (mol CO2 / mol amine) = 0.05

Expected Result:

  • Minimum liquid-to-gas molar ratio = 0.299

Engineering Interpretation:

Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Minimum liquid-to-gas molar ratio = 0.299 mol/mol.

The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.

Formula / Method

minimum liquid-to-gas molar ratio = (inlet co2 mole fraction in gas phase - outlet co2 mole fraction in gas phase) / (mol CO2 / mol amine - mol CO2 / mol amine)
