During absorption of carbon tetrachloride from a mixture of air-CCl4 by an
organic oil, the gas and liquid phase mass transfer coefficients have been
estimated to be 0.32 and 5.26 kmol/(hr)(m2
)(mol fraction), respectively. The
equilibrium relation under the operating conditions is given by y* = 20 x, where
y and x are mole fractions of CCl4
in gas and liquid phases respectively.
Estimate the overall mass transfer coefficients, Ky, and Kx.
