    The document discusses concentration differences driving absorption in a gas-liquid system where component A is transferring from the gas phase into the liquid phase B and irreversibly converting to component C. It formulates the basic rate equation and uses Fick's law and boundary conditions to derive an expression for the concentration of A at different points in the liquid phase B.

    Ans.-1) The concentration of A in the gas is constant ( Cai =0.

    2 kmol/m3 ) while it is very dilute in B liquid


    phase thus, creating a concentration difference which acts as the driving force and eventually leads to
    the formation of a film as per the film theory for absorption . Also, A in phase B converts to C
    irreversibly. Thus, A is diffusing in B and then some of it is converting to C . Hence , we can formulate the
    basic equation as :-

    Input rate - Output rate = Rate of depletion due to reaction

    Na|z - Na|z+dz = dz*1*Ra

    where, Ra =k * Ca

    Ca is the concentration of A in phase B

    Cai is the concentration of A at the interface i.e. in gas.

    So, using Fick’s law ,

    Da * ( d2 Ca / dz2 ) = k * Ca ---------- (1)

    Also, putting boundary conditions and taking the input variable distance as “z” :-

    Ca=Cai (conc. At interface ) z=0

    Ca=Ca (bulk B) at z= d i.e. 0.4 cm

    Solving this O.D.E and taking bulk conc. of A as very dilute (negligible w.r.t. gas) , we get

    Ca= (1/sinh @) * [ sinh { @ - z (√k/Da) } ] * Cai

    where , @2 = d2 * [k/Da]

    Hence, putting different z values , we can get the concentration of A at different points .
