Wetted wall tower experiment determines the__________________?
Correct answer: C. Mass transfer co-efficient
- A. Molal diffusivity
- B. Volumetric co-efficient
- C. Mass transfer co-efficient
- D. None of these
Explanation
A wetted-wall tower provides a known contact area between the phases, allowing the mass-transfer coefficient to be determined from measured concentration changes and transfer rates. It is not primarily a device for measuring molal diffusivity.
