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
0.7
0.25
0.5

Mass Transfer
Plate towers are preferred to packed towers, when large temperature changes are involved, because of the reason that the

Viscosity variation of the fluids may cause channeling/flooding
Pressure drop in the equipment will be very high
None of these
Packing may be crushed due to thermal expansion/contraction of the components of the equipments
