The solute R is being absorbed in a wetted-wall tower from a gaseous mixture of R andS. Thebulk gas concentration at a certain point in the tower, yRG= 0.38 and the bulk liquid concentration, XRL= 0.1. The tower operates at 298 K and 1 atm pressure, and the equilibriumdataarerepresented by the following equation: y = 2.7976x 2 + 0.0587x + 0.0085 The solute R diffuses through stagnant S in the gas phase, then through the non-diffusing liquid.
