Question: Air at 6 5 . 6 C , 1 0 1 . 3 kPa, flows at a velocity of 0 . 8 m s through

Air at 65.6C,101.3kPa, flows at a velocity of 0.8ms through a packed bed of naphthalene spheres having a diameter of 6.7mm. The total surface area of the spheres in the bed is 0.015m2 and the void fraction is 0.44. The tower diameter is 0.067m. The vapor pressure of naphthalene is 340.76Pa. Calculate the mass transfer coefficient and predict the outlet concentration of naphthalene in the exit air.
