Sulfur dioxide (A) is being absorbed into water in a packed column, where bulk conditions are 50°C, 2 atm, yAb= 0.08, and XAb = 0.001, whereas the liquid concentration is estimated to be 55 kmol/m. Experimental values of the mass transfer coefficients are: ke=0.18 m/hr, kg=0.04 kmol/ (hr-m2-kPa). The equilibrium data for the system is plotted as in Fig.-Q1: %3D 0.09 0.08 007 0.06 y 00s 004 002 x 103 Figure-Q1: Equilibrium concentration of (A) in water i- Considering dilute solution, convert the values given for the mass transfer coefficients into k , and k ii- Estimate the mole fractions at the interface (i.e. Xu and Va). iii- Calculate the overall mass transfer coefficient (K). iv- Calculate the percent resistance in the liquid phase and the flux N.
