Question: Your aim is to separate a component A from a gaseous mixture of air using an absorption column. The liquid solvent fed to the column

Your aim is to separate a component A from a gaseous mixture of air using an absorption column. The liquid solvent fed to the column is water at 20C. At some specific location within the column, you measure the concentration of component A in the gas and liquid phases in terms of mole fractions as 0.35 and 0.05, respectively. The gas phase - based
overall mass transfer coefficient of component A in air is known, and it is equal to Ky'=2.37x10-3molm2.s. mole fraction. Equilibrium relation of component A in the gas phase and liquid water is given below. It has been found that 35% percent of the total resistance to mass
transfer is in the liquid phase. Assume evaporation of water is neglected and calculate the film mass transfer coefficients in both phases (kx and ky), the local gas A mass-transfer flux (NA), and the interface mole fractions (xAi and {:yAi). Equilibrium curve equation : yAe=1.05xAe[0.9+1.2xAe(3.65xAe-1)].(can you solve by mass transfer and write assumption this question ? You don't use any AI systems(chatgpt etc.))
