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

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

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.

PETROLEUM ENGINEERING - QUESTION 25.2 : (a) The American Petroleum Institute gravity, or API gravity, is a measure of how heavy or light a petroleum liquid is compared to water. Let SG = specific gravity of petroleum liquid, and V = barrels of crude oil per metric ton. Given the formula for API gravity = 141.5 / SG - 131.5 and V = (API gravity + 131.5) / (141.5 x 0.159), find the relationship of SG as a function of V. (b) An oil barrel is about 159 litres. If a cylinder with diameter d = 50 cm and height h = 50 cm is used to contain the oil, find the volume V of the cylinder in the unit of oil barrel by using the formula V = 3.142 x d x h x d / 4. (c) First reference : 1 cubic metre = 6.2898 oil barrels. Second reference : 1 cubic metre = 6.37 oil barrels. What are the 2 factors that cause the difference in such reference data?
BIOPROCESS ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 14.3 : The kinetic behavior of an enzyme could be described using Michalis - Menten equation : Vo = Vmax [S] / (Km + [S]). Derive this equation from [ES] = [E]total [S] / (Km + [S]), Vmax = Kcat [E]total, Vo = Kcat [ES].

ENGINEERING PHYSICS - EXAMPLE 30.2 : The Planck-Einstein relation connects the particulate photon energy E with its associated wave frequency f to produce E = hf. Let h to be the Planck constant. The frequency f, wavelength L and speed of light c are related by E = hc / L. With p denoting the linear momentum of a particle, the de Broglie wavelength L of the particle is given by L = h / p. (a) Find the equation of E as a function of p and c. (b) If E has a unit of electron-volt and f has a unit of 1 / second, then what is the unit of h?
Question 108 - (a) The correct statement about both the average value of position (<x>) and momentum (<p>) of a 1-dimensional harmonic oscillator wavefunction is <x> = <p> = 1 - x. Find the value of x. (b) The probabilities of finding a particle around points A, B and C in the wavefunction y = f(x) are P(A), P(B) and P(C) respectively. Coordinates are A (3,5), B (4,-10) and C (6,7). Arrange P(A), P(B) and P(C) in term of a < b < c, when | y-coordinate | signifies the probability.
