Chemical Engineering > GATE 2025 > Mass Transfer
Solute A is absorbed from a gas into water in a packed bed operating at steady state. The absorber operating pressure and temperature are 1 atm and 300 K, respectively. At the gas-liquid interface yi=1.5 xi where yi and xi are the interfacial gas and liquid mole fractions of A, respectively. At a particular location in the absorber, the mole fractions of A in the bulk gas and in the bulk water are 0.02 and 0.002, respectively. If the ratio of the local individual mass transfer coefficients ky/kx=2 for the transport of A on the gas-side (ky) to that on the water-side (kx), then yi equals ______ (rounded off to 3 decimal places).

Correct : 0.015
