Chemical Engineering > GATE 2022 > Interphase Mass Transfer
Consider interphase mass transfer of a species S between two immiscible liquids A and B. The interfacial mass transfer coefficient of S in liquid A is twice that of in liquid B. The equilibrium distribution of S between the liquids is given by
ySA = 0.5ySB, where ySA and ySB are the mole-fractions of S in A and B, respectively.
The bulk phase mole-fraction of S in A and B is 0.10 and 0.02, respectively. If the steady-state flux of S is estimated to be 10 kmol h–1 m–2, the mass transfer coefficient of S in A is ________ kmol h–1 m–2 (rounded off to one decimal place).
