In a gas mixture containing component A and B the A component is absorbed using a wet wall tower. At a certain point in the tower, the mole fraction of the A component in the gas pile is yA0 = 0.15, and the mole fraction of the A component in the liquid pile is xA0 = 0.05. The tower is operated under pressure conditions of 298 K and 101325 kPa. The balance data are as follows;

Its component diffuses in stagnant B from the gas phase, not back diffusing from the liquid. . In correlations used for dilute solutions in wet wall towers, the film mass transfer coefficient for gas phase A is k'y= 1.465 x 10-3 kmolA/m2.s. film mass transfer coefficient k'x = 1.967 x 10-3 kmolA/m2.s for mole fraction and A in liquid phase. It is estimated in mole fraction.
Accordingly, calculate all mass transfer coefficients K-x and K-x, flux and percentage resistance in the gas film
