    Matter: Mass Transfer
    Exercise series 2
    Exercise 1: (calculation of mass average velocity, molar average velocity)
    A gas mixture N2=5%, H2=15% , NH3=78% and Ar=4% flow through a pipe, 25.4 mm in diameter, et 4.05
    bar total pressure. if the velocity of the respective component are 0.03 m/s, 0.035 m/s and 0.02 m/s.
    Calculate :
    a- The mass average velocity of the mixture.
    b- The molar average and volume average velocity of the mixture.
    Exercise 2: (calculation of flux and velocity)
    Ammonia (A) diffuses through a stagnant layer of air (B), 1 cm thick, at 25°C and 1 atm total pressures.
    The pressures of NH3 on the two sides of the air layer are PA0 =0.9 atm and PAL =0.1 atm respectively. Air
    is non-diffusing. Calculate:
    a- The molar flux of NH3.
    b- The velocity of the individual components with respect to a stationary observer.
    c- The molar and the mass average velocities of the components.
    d- The molar flux of NH3 with respect to an observer moving with the mass average velocity.
    e- Prepare the plots of partial pressure distributions of ammonia and air along the diffusion path.
    Given : DAB = 0.214 cm2/s , R=82.1 (cm3.atm/K.gmol)
    Exercise 3: (Diffusion of water through stagnant, Non-diffusing air)
    Water in the bottom of a narrow metal tube is held at a constant temperature of 293 K. The total
    pressure of air (assumed dray) is 1.01325×105 Pa (1.0 atm) and the temperature is 293 K (20°C). Water
    evaporates and diffuses through the air in the tube and diffusion path z 2-z1 is 0.1524 m long. Assume
    that the system is isothermal, calculate :
    a- The rate of evaporation at steady state in kg.mol/s.m2.
    b- The diffusivity of water vapor at 293 K and 1 atm pressure is 0.250×10-4 m2/s.
    Exercise 4: (Molecular diffusing of Helium in Nitrogen)
    A mixture of He and N2 gas is contained in a pipe at 298 K and 1 atm total pressure, which is constant
    through. At one end the pipe at point 1 the partial pressure PA1 of He is 0.60 atm and at the other end
    0.2 m (20 cm) PA2 = 0.20 atm. Calculate the flux of He at steady state if DAB of the He-N2 mixture is 0.687
    × 10-4 m2/s (0.687 cm2 /s). Use SI units.
    Exercise 5: (Flux, velocity and pressure gradient)
    A test tube, 1.5 cm in diameter and 12 cm tall, is party filled with a solution of alkaline pyrogallate. The
    depth of the empty space above the solution is 5 cm. The temperature is 25 °C and the total pressure
    is 1 atmosphere. Air may be assumed to contain 21% O2 and 79% N2. The diffusivity of O2 in N2 at the
    given condition is 0.21 cm2/s.
    a- Calculate the rate of absorption of Oxygen from air in the solution at steady state if air flows
    gently over the open end of the test tube. Make plots of the distribution of partial pressures of
    the gases along the diffusion path.
    b- Calculate Calculate the partial pressure gradient of Oxygen midway in the diffusion path.
    c- Calculate the molar average velocity of the mixture and the diffusion velocity of the two
    components (O2 and N2).
    d- Calculate the flux of the components midway of the diffusion path with respect to an observer
    moving with twice the molar average velocity at the location in the direction away from the liquid
    surface.
