Transcribed Image Text:
The equilibrium distribution of a solute A between air and water at low concentration at a particular temperature is given below, y=1.4x. At a certain point in a mass transfer device, the concentration of solute A in the bulk air is 0.05 mole fraction and that in the bulk aqueous phase is 0.027. In which direction does the transport of the solute A occur (i.e., from the gas to the liquid or from the liquid to the gas)? Calculate the overall gas-phase and overall liquid-phase driving forces for mass transfer? At the same point, the local individual mass transfer coefficients for the transport of A are, ky = 8.5 kmol/(h)(m²)(Ay) and kx = 5.2 kmol/(h)(m²)(Ar). Calculate (a) the interfacial concentrations in both the gas-phase and liquid-phase; (b) the overall mass transfer coefficients, K. and Ky.
