Consider the following process for recovering NH3 from a gas stream composed of N2 and NH3 (see Figure).

Flowing upward through the process is the gas stream, which can contain NH3 and N2 but not solvent S, and flowing downward through the device is a liquid stream which can contain NH3 and liquid S but not N2.

The weight fraction of NH3 in the gas stream A leaving the process is related to the weight fraction of NH3 in the liquid stream B leaving the process by the following empirical relationship:

Given the data shown in Figure, calculate the flow rates and compositions of streams A and B.
