Sulfur dioxide is absorbed into water in a packed column. At a certain location, the bulk conditions are 50°C, 2.0 atm, yag = 0.13 and XAL = 0.001. Equilibrium data for SO2 between air and water at 50°C are Pso2 (atm) 0.0382 0.0606 0.1092 0.1700 0.2164 0.2816 Xso2 (mol frac) 0.000563 0.000846 0.001408 0.001971 0.0025 0.0032 Experimental values of mass transfer coefficients are: ky = 8.1 kmol/h-mP-mol frac and kx = 9.9 kmol/h-m2- mol frac. Solve the problem graphically to determine a. the interface concentrations; b. the overall mass transfer coefficient Kx and Ky; C. the mass transfer flux; d. which phase is controlling the mass transfer.
