Calculate the value of mass transfer coefficient from a solid sphere of camphor to air at 40 oC and 1.5 atm flowing at a velocity of 45 cm/s. The diameter of the sphere is 22.5 mm. The diffusivity of camphor in air at 40 oC is 4.5 x 10-6 m2/s and the vapor pressure of solid camphor is 0.456 mmHg. Viscosity of air is 1.75 x10-5 Pa.s and the density of air is 0.00145 g/cm3.

- Problem 3 Helium gas at 25 °C and 4 bars is contained in a spherical glass container of 200 mm inside diameter and 10 mm thickness. If a constant stream of air is passed over the exterior of the vessel, what is the initial rate of mass loss from the container? Assume, the diffusivity of helium through the glass is 0.4 x 10-¹3 m²/s and the molar solubility of helium in the glass is 0.45 x 10³ kmol of He/(m³of solid bar of He).arrow_forward3 An electrical current of 700 A flows through a stainless steel cable having a diameter of 5 mm and an electrical resistance of 6 x 104 /m (i.e., per meter of cable length). The cable is in an environment having a tem- perature of 30°C, and the total coefficient associated with convection and radiation between the cable and the environment is approximately 25 W/m².K. (a) If the cable is bare, what is its surface temperature? (b) If a very thin coating of electrical insulation is applied to the cable, with a contact resistance of 0.02 m² K/W, what are the insulation and cable surface temperatures? (c) There is some concern about the ability of the insula- tion to withstand elevated temperatures. What thick- ness of this insulation (k = 0.5 W/m .K) will yield the lowest value of the maximum insulation temper- ature? What is the value of the maximum tempera- ture when this thickness is used? Note: The 25 W/m²K includes not only convection but also radiation.arrow_forwardQI: Determine the pressure difference between points A and B in the figure.

- Liquid food is flowed through an uninsulated pipe at 90 ° C. The product flow rate is 0.35 kg / s and has a specific mass of 1000 kg / m³, specific specific 4 kJ / (kg K), viscosity 8 x 10-6 Pa s, and a thermal conductivity of 0.55 W / (m) K). The assumed viscosity change is negligible. The internal diameter of the pipe is 25 mm with a thickness of 3 mm made of stainless steel (k = 15 W / [m ° C]). The outside temperature is 15 ° C.

The duct diameter is then reduced to 4-cm through a reducer. The pressure change across the reducer is measured by a water manometer. The elevation difference between the two points on the pipe where the two arms of the manometer are attached is 0.20 m. Determine the differential height between the fluid levels of the two arms of the manometer.

Solar ponds are small artificial lakes used to store solar energy. The rise of heated (and thus less dense) water to the surface is prevented by adding salt at the pond bottom. In a typical salt gradient solar pond, the density of water increases in the gradient zone, as shown.
