Question: A 2 . 5 - in - ID wetted wall column is being used to strip C O 2 from an aqueous solution by an

A 2.5-in-ID wetted wall column is being used to strip CO2 from an aqueous solution by an air stream at 1.0
ms. At one point in the column, the concentration of CO2 in the air stream is 1.25 mole percent. At the
same point in the column, the concentration of CO2 in the water is 0.8 mole percent. Determine the gas-
mass-transfer coefficient mole/atm-m2-s) and the mass flux at the point in the column. The column
is operated at 10atm and 25C. The Henry's constant of CO2 in water at 25C is 1.64103atmmole
fraction CO2 in solution. For correlations, refer to the table given in the lecture (taken from CHE handbook).
