3.1. A solute A is being absorbed from a gas mixture of A and B in a wetted-wall tower the liquid flowing as a film downward along the wall. At a certain point in the tower the bulk liquid conc. (xAI) is 0.15 mol fraction A. The individual mass transfer coefficient kx is given as 2.0**10-4kgmolAs*m2. mol fraction. The bulk gas conc. is 0.3mol fraction A and ky is given as 3.0**10-4kgmolAs.m2.mol fraction. Calculate the interficial compositions xAi;yAi; and the mass transfer coefficients kx,ky, and Kv and Ky. What is the % mass transfer resistance in the gas phase?
The equilibrium relation is given as yA=3.0xA2
