Question: QJ ( 4 0 / 1 0 0 ) . The solute A is being absorbed from a gas mixture of A and B in

QJ(40/100). The solute A is being absorbed from a gas mixture of A and B in a wetted-wall tower with
the liquid flowing as a film downward along the wall. At a certain point in the tower the bulk gas
concentration yAG=0.30mol fraction and the bulk liquid concentration is xAL=0.10. The equilibrium
data of the process is given below. The solute A is diffusing by equimolar counterdiffusion in tower.
The film mass-transfer coefficient for A in the gas phase is predicted as; ky'=510-3kgmols2m2*mol-
frac. for the liquid phase as kx'=110-3kgmols2m2. mol frac. Calculate
a) The interface concentrations yAi and xAi
b) The molar flux NA
c) The overall mass transfer coefficient Ky' and Kx'
 QJ(40/100). The solute A is being absorbed from a gas mixture
