5. A packed tower has been designed to strip component A from an aqueous stream into a counter-flowing air stream. At a given plane in the tower, the concentrations of the two adjacent streams are pag = 4 x 10 Pa and cal = 4 kg mol/m' of solution. Under the given flow conditions, the overall gas mass-transfer coefficient, Ko, is equal to 2.46 x 10-8 kg mol/m s-Pa and 60% of the resistance to mass transfer is encountered in the gas phase. At the tower's operating condition of 290 K and 1013 x 10 Pa, the system satisfies Henry's law with a Henry's law constant of 1400 Pa/(kg mol/m). (a) Find the individual gas-film coefficient, ko (5%) (b) Derive a relation between the overall gas mass-transfer coefficient (Ko) and the individual phase coefficients, ko and ku, where kt, is the individual liquid-film coefficient (5%) (c) Find ku (2%) (d) Determine the overall liquid mass-transfer coefficient, KL. (5%) (e) Calculate both the interfacial gas and liquid concentration. (8%)
