Question
Hydrogen gas at 25 degree Celcius and 2.5 atmosphere flows through a
rubber tubing of 12 mm inside radius and 24 mm outside radius.
The binary diffusion coefficient of hydrogen is 2.1 x 10-8 m2/s
and the solubility of hydrogen is 0.055 m3 of hydrogen per m3 of
rubber at 1 atmosphere. If the molecular mass for hydrogen gas
is taken as 1.9986 gm/mol, and the concentration of hydrogen
at the outer surface of tubing is negligible, calculate the
diffusion flux rate of hydrogen per meter length of rubber
tubing.

- Catalyst particles are entrapped in the center of a porous membrane material. The purpose of this is to protect the catalyst so that it can be recovered and reused. This structure shown below is immersed in an aqueous solution containing a proprietary reactant called component A. Component A can only diffuse through the top and bottom faces of this structure. The dimensions of the top face and the bottom face are same (10cm x 10cm). The thickness of the top membrane is 0.1cm and the thickness of the bottom membrane is also 0.1cm. Furthermore component A is instantaneously consumed by the catalyst at a constant rate of 144 mg/hour when it enters the compartment where the catalyst is located. If the effective diffusivity of component A in this application is 2 x 10-5 cm2/s in the membrane calculate the concentration of component A in the surrounding solution that is needed to maintain the consumption rate.

Determine the: (a) length over which a laminar boundary layer persists, (b) rate of mass transfer over that length, and (c) thicknesses of the velocity and concentration boundary layers at the point of transition of the boundary layer to turbulent flow. The physical properties are: vapor pressure of naphthalene =10 torr; viscosity of air =0.0215 cP; molar density of air = 0.0327 kmol/m3;and diffusivity of naphthalene in air = 0.94 x 10-5 m2/s.arrow_forward1.

- A gas is stored in a 3-m-outer-diameter spherical container made of 3-cm-thick plastic. Themolar concentration of the gas in the plastic is 0.001 kg/m3 at the inner surface and negligible at theouter surface. The diffusivity of the gas in the plastic is 5 x 10-10 m2/s. The gas is highly toxic so theplastic shell contains a catalyst to degrade the gas into a safe product. The rate of reaction of the drug islimited by the catalyst concentration so it is first order in the gas concentration with rate constant 10-8kg/(m3s).A. Start with a shell balance in spherical coordinates to determine the governing equation. Assume steadystate with zero order reaction.B. Solve the differential equation obtained from the shell balance with appropriate boundary conditions todetermine concentration profile.C. Use the solution for concentration profile to determine rate of diffusion into the air.D.
