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
Packing may be crushed due to thermal expansion/contraction of the components of the equipments
None of these
Pressure drop in the equipment will be very high

Mass Transfer
Experiments were conducted to determine the flux of a species A in a stagnant medium across a gas-liquid interface. The overall mass transfer co-efficient based on the liquid side for dilute systems for the above was estimated to be 4 x 10⁻³ kg mole/m².s. The equilibrium data for the system is given as y = 2x. The flux across the interface (in kg mole/m² .s) for bulk concentrations of A in gas phase and liquid phase as y = 0.4 and x = 0.01 respectively is

5.6 x 10⁻³
8.5 x 10⁻³
8.5 x 10⁻⁴
5.6 x 10⁻⁴
