5. An absorption tower, operating at 20C and 10 atm, is used to absorb sulfur dioxide from an air mixture into water. At one point in the absorber, the partial pressure of the So, in the gas stream is 4x109 Pa and the concentration of the contacting liquid stream is 0.55 kg mol/ml. The individual gan film mass transfer coefficient is ko - 3.95x10 kg mol/m's Pa and the individual liquid film mass transfer coefficient is ki- 11x10* kg mol/ms (kg mol/m). Equilibrium data at 20 C are follows: 67 0.306 2.780 6.208 10.896 1 partial pressure SO2, Pa 426 1132 3466 7864 concentration, SO2, kg mol/m 1.458 H=751.646 (a) Explain how to obtain the interfacial concentration, ca and pl(6%) (b) Assume pag is in equilibrium with the concentration, c. and eat is in equilibrium with the (696) partial pressure, ps. Explain how to obtain cand p! (c) If cn = 0.69 kg molim'. pu = 210 Pa, ci = 7.0 kg mol/m', and pi* - 100 Pa. Determine the values for Ko and Ki (d) Determine the percentage of the overall mass transfer resistance in the gas film.(5%) (8%)
