(Mass transfer in a wetted-wall column) In a wetted-wall tower, HS is being ab- sorbed from air into water at 1.6 bar total pressure and 25C. The gas-phase mass transfer coefficient is predicted to be k. = 3.42 kmol/(h)(m)(AC, kmol/m). At a given point in the column, the mole fraction of HS in the liquid at the gas-liquid interface is 1.8 x 105 and that in the bulk gas is 0.15. The solubility of HS in water at the given temperature is 0.00337 mass fraction per atmosphere pressure of the gas. Calculate the local flux.
