Question: For a system in which solute A is transferring from the gas to liquid phase, the equilibrium distribution is given by y = 1 .

For a system in which solute A is transferring from the gas to liquid phase, the equilibrium distribution is given by y=1.2xA. At a certain point in the mass transfer device the concentration of solute A in the bulk gas phase is 0.04 mole fraction and that in the bulk aqueous phase is 0.025. At the same point, the local individual film mass transfer coefficients for the transport of A through both phases are ky=7.2kmolm2.h and kx=4.6kmolm2.h.
Calculate the following:
(a) the overall gas-phase and the overall liquid-phase driving forces for mass transfer.
(b) interfacial concentrations in both the gas-phase and the liquid-phase.
(c) the overall mass transfer coefficients based on both the gas- and liquidphases.
(d) the local mass flux, NA.
