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

Pressure drop in the equipment will be very high
Viscosity variation of the fluids may cause channeling/flooding
None of these

Mass Transfer
At equilibrium the concentration of water in vapour phase (C*)in kg/m³ of air space and the amount of water (m) adsorbed per kg of dry silica gel are related by, C* = 0.0667m. To maintain dry conditions in a room of air space 100m³ containing 2.2 kg of water vapour initially, 10 kg of dry silica gel is kept in the room. The fraction of initial water remaining in the air space after a long time (during which the temperature is maintained constant) is
