Theory
Stripping works on the basis of mass transfer. The idea is to make the conditions favorable for the component, A, in the liquid phase to transfer to the vapor phase. This involves a gas-liquid interface that A must cross. The total amount of A that has moved across this boundary can be defined as the flux of A, NA.

The buzzing world and lisping firmament.”
