Concept explainers
A temperature difference drives a heat transfer Does a similar concept apply to
The similar concept for mass transfer like the heat transfer derived by the temperature difference.
Answer to Problem 4.1P
Mass transfer is derived by pressure difference.
Explanation of Solution
The temperature difference between two regions can lead to transfer of heat from high temperature region to lower temperature region to maintain the equilibrium of temperature between two regions.
The similar concept can be applied to the mass transfer, for instance if we consider a pipe having water flow inside it, the flow of water starts from high pressure region and flow to the lower pressure region.
The flow inside the pipe is due to the pressure difference. As water is incompressible fluid thus its density will remain same throughout the flow. Hence, the mass transfer is derived by Pressure difference.
Conclusion:
Thus, mass transfer is derived by pressure difference.

As a result, the liquid water becomes water vapor at 1150C. What is the mass of the water?

The total mass of the piston (including shaft) is 100 kg. While the gas is slowly heated, the internal energy of the gas increases by 0.1 kJ, the potential energy of the piston-shaft combination increases by 0.2 kJ. The piston and cylinder are poor conductors, and friction between them is negligible. The local atmospheric pressure is 1 bar and approximate g as 10 m/s². The cross-sectional area of the piston is 0.01 m². Determine, (a) the work done by the gas, (b) the heat transfer to the gas, all in kJ. Patm = 1 bar Gas 0.01 m²arrow_forward

The steam enters the turbine at a velocity of 80 m/s, an elevation of 10 m and specific enthalpy of 3276 kJ/kg. It leaves the turbine at a velocity of 150 m/sec, an elevation of 3 m and a specific enthalpy of 2465 kJ/kg. Heat losses from the turbine to the surrounding amount to 36 MJ/hr.
