Convective Mass Transfer Between Phases At a particular location in a countercurrent absorber used to remove solute A from a gas stream, the mole fraction of the transferring species A in the bulk gas stream is and the mole fraction of solute A in the bulk liquid phase is The total system pressure is 2.0 atm and the temperature is 300 K. If 60% of the resistance is in the gas phase. a. Determine the interfacial compositions, X a,i and y a,i. The gas–liquid equilibrium relationship is linear, as given by y A = 0.3 x A. b. If ky = 1.25 g mole/m 2 s (mole fraction), calculate the overall coefficient, Ky for the gas phase at the operating point of the process. c. Calculate the overall coefficient Kx for the liquid phase at the operating point of the process.
