Mass Transfer
In an operating distillation column, the

Highest temperature is encountered at the top of the column
Vapors and liquids are at their dew point and bubble point respectively
Driving force for the liquid flow is its specific weight

Mass Transfer
Compound A is extracted from a solution of A + B into a pure solvent S. A Co-current unit is used for the liquid-liquid extraction. The inlet rate of the solution containing A is 200 moles of B/hr.m² and the solvent flow, rate is 400 moles of S/m². hr. The equilibrium data is represented by Y = 3X² , where Y is in moles of a A/moles of B and X is in moles A/moles of S. The maximum percentage extraction achieved in the unit is

0.7
0.9
0.5
0.25

Mass Transfer
Experiments were conducted to determine the flux of a species A in a stagnant medium across a gas-liquid interface. The overall mass transfer co-efficient based on the liquid side for dilute systems for the above was estimated to be 4 x 10⁻³ kg mole/m².s. The equilibrium data for the system is given as y = 2x. The flux across the interface (in kg mole/m² .s) for bulk concentrations of A in gas phase and liquid phase as y = 0.4 and x = 0.01 respectively is

8.5 x 10⁻³
5.6 x 10⁻⁴
8.5 x 10⁻⁴
5.6 x 10⁻³
