Chemical Absorption with irreversible first order reaction was used to determine the effective interfacial area and the liquid-side mass transfer coefficient in packed gas absorber. The experiments were undertaken with the packings of different shapes and sizes and several kinds of liquids with various properties.
Correlations predicting the values were obtained in terms of dimensionless numbers through the regression analysis of the experimental results.
In case of the effective interfacial area, the correlation is given as

The experimental results of this work and those of others were compares with the values predicted by the above correlations. A good agreement was found between them.
