Determining Overall Mass Transfer Coefficient for Gas Phase
Question
Water is used to absorb the vapor of methanol at 300 K and 101.325 kPa. The concentration of methanol in both gas and liquid phases are very low, with the equilibrium relation following Henry’s Law. The known parameters are:
solubility of methanol in water = 1.995 kmol/(m3 .kPa)
local mass transfer coefficient for gas film kG = 1.55E-5 kmol/(m2.s.kPa)
local mass transfer coefficient for liquid film kL = 2.08E-5kmol/(m2.s.kmol/m3)
(1) Please determine the overall mass transfer coefficient for gas phase, KG,
(2) And determine the percentage of mass transfer resistance in gas film out of the overall resistance.
(3) At steady operation in certain section of the absorption column, the partial pressure of methanol is 5 kPa and the liquid composition is 2.11 kmol/m3. Please determine the methanol absorption rate NA, [kmol/(m2.h)] .
Summary
This question belongs to thermal engineering and discusses about mass transfer and absorptions.

I was pursuing my MSN degree when I thought of specializing in musculo-skeletal patients and it was back in 2008 when I came across HwA and learned a lot about the interventions and assessment strategies.

It is important to have a constant guide while you do your dissertation as the lack of constant help often leaves you all the more bewildered. The New Zealand dissertation expert who helped me with my assignment was available on a constant basis and she helped me get a fantastic grade.

Being a computer science engineer is my dream and it wouldn’t have possible for me to understand the basics of C++ programming without the help of TheReliableTutor and the engineering assignment tutors. I grasped C programming on my own, but for C++ and Java, I am definitely grateful to TheReliableTutor.
Jasmin Rosa Student
I had a very bad calculus background and for that reason I was unable to deal with the difficult sums given in the process control assignments. However, luckily for me I came across HwA and since then, never had to worry about these assignments any more.

I was stuck badly with my mechanical engineering kinetic energy assignment when I started searching online. Obviously I was not being able to find anyone who is from New Zealand who can actually help me out. But luckily I bumped into HwA where I saw they have engineering experts from New Zealand and was somewhat relieved. Moreover, the thing that made me a fan and a regular client of HwA is that from the first assignment onwards I got excellent grades.

this is a very good website
I have 50 questions for the same test your page is showing only 28
hi can you please help or guide me to answer my assignments. thanks
hi can anyone help or guide me to my assignments. thanks
This solution is perfect ...thanks
Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
