Question 32
CHNAT1 markNeeds review
Consider interphase mass transfer of a species
between two immiscible liquids
and
. The interfacial mass transfer coefficient of
in liquid
is twice of that in liquid
. The equilibrium distribution of
between the liquids is given by
, where
and
are the mole-fractions of
in
and
, respectively. The bulk phase mole-fraction of
in
and
is 0.10 and 0.02, respectively. If the steady-state flux of
is estimated to be 10 kmol h
m
, the mass transfer coefficient of
in
is ________ kmol h
m
