Mass Transfer
For the gas absorption, the height of a transfer unit, based on the gas phase is given by (G: superficial molar gas velocity, L: superficial molar liquid velocity, FG:mass transfer co-efficient, mols/m² , a: in-terfacial area per unit volume of tower)

F/(FG.a)
FG/(G.a)
L/(FG.G)
(G.a)/FG
