b. In small columns, local efficiency is larger than Murphree efficiency; in large columns local efficiency is smaller than Murphree efficiency
c. For Laminar flow over a plate of length L, the local mass transfer co-efficient at a distance L from the leading edge is 1.5 × 10-2m/s. Then the average mass transfer co-efficient for the plate is 2 × 10-2m/s
