Mass Transfer
Compound A is extracted from a solution of A + B into a pure solvent S. A Co-current unit is used for the liquid-liquid extraction. The inlet rate of the solution containing A is 200 moles of B/hr.m² and the solvent flow, rate is 400 moles of S/m². hr. The equilibrium data is represented by Y = 3X² , where Y is in moles of a A/moles of B and X is in moles A/moles of S. The maximum percentage extraction achieved in the unit is

0.9
0.25
0.5
0.7

Mass Transfer
In an operating distillation column, the

Driving force for the vapor flow is the pressure drop, as the pressure decreases gradually from the bottom to the top of the column
Vapors and liquids are at their dew point and bubble point respectively
Highest temperature is encountered at the top of the column
Driving force for the liquid flow is its specific weight
