4) A packed tower is designed to remove component A from an aqueous stream into a countercurrent air stream. In a given plane in the tower, the concentrations of the two adjacent streams are PA= 4x103 Pa and Caz= 4 kgmol/m 3 of solution. Under the given flow conditions, the overall gas mass transfer coefficient, K, is equal to 2.34x10-8 kgmol/(m 2 s.Pa) and 60% of the mass transfer resistance is found in the gas phase. Under the tower operating conditions of 290 K and 1.013x10 Pa, the system satisfies Henry's law with Henry's posture constant of 1400 Pa/(kgmol/m?). Determine: a) The individual gas film coefficient, kg- b) The interfacial gas concentration c) The individual liquid film coefficient, kz- d) The overall net mass transfer coefficient, KP. e) Build the chart and complete it with the information obtained above
