Assignment #7
1. Sulfur dioxide is absorbed from air into water in a packed absorption tower at
25°C and atmospheric pressure. At a certain location in the tower, the mass-
transfer flux is 0.0270 kmol SO2/m2-h and the liquid-phase mole fractions are
0.0025 and 0.0003 at the two-phase interface and in the bulk liquid, respectively.
Determine the local mass-transfer coefficient, kc in m/s, and the film thickness in
m, neglecting the bulk-flow effect.
Note: Use Eqn’s 10.4-26 and 10.4-27 from the text in solving this question.
