The equilibrium data for sulfur dioxide (SO2) distributed in sparse concentration between air and water is expressed by the following equation: [ P'_A =25\times X_A ]Here, the mole fraction of SO2 in the gas phase is represented with respect to the operating pressure of the column. The absorption column operates at 10 atm, and at a certain point in the column, the mole fraction of SO2 in the bulk vapor and in the liquid phase is ( y_A =0.01) and ( x_A =0.0), respectively. The mass transfer coefficients are as follows:[ k_x =10kgmol/(m^2 h)(mole fraction
k_y =8{kgmol/m}^2 h(mole fraction)Assuming equal-molar counter diffusion, (a) find Kx ,(b) determine the composition at the interface, x_Ai,y_Ai (c) calculate the molar flux N_A.
