Benzene vapor in an air stream is adsorbed in a fixed bed of 4 x6 mesh silica gel packed to an external void fraction of 0.5. The bed is 2 ft in inside diameter and air flow is 25 lb/minute (benzene-free basis). At a bed location where pressure is 1 atm, temperature is 70oF, and the benzene mole fraction is 0.005, estimate the external, gas-to-particle mass-transfer and heattransfer coefficients.
