    Mass transfer

    1. A large ammonia tank is vented to the atmosphere, whose diameter is 0.01m


    and the length of the tube is 3m. The rate of loss of ammonia and the rate of air
    infiltration into the tank are to be determined.

    Given data:
    Dia of tube D = 0.01m
    Length of tube L = 3m
    Temp of Ammonia T = 25°C =298k
    Pressure P = 1atm =1.013kpa

    To find
    rate of loss of ammonia
    rate of air infiltration into the tank
    SOLUTION:
    Assumptions made
    1. Ammonia vapor and air are ideal gases
    2. Temperature of ammonia remains constant at 25°C.
    (Latent vapourization)
    3. Amount of air dissolved in liquid ammonia is
    negligible
    4. Equimolar counterdiffusion process

    Properties from HMT Data book:


     Molar mass of ammonia is M = 17 kg/kmol
     molar mass of air is M = 29 kg/kmol
    Pg:174 (Table 14-2)
    diffusion coefficient of ammonia in air
     (1 atm and 25ºC) = DAB = 7.2×10-5 m2/s

    Universal gas constant


    R=8.314 kPa m /kmol K
    cross-sectional area of the tube,
    A =π D2 / 4
    =π (0.01m)2 / 4
    = 7.86×10−5 m2

    Molar flow rate:

    = (2.6 * 10 -5) (7.86 *10 -5 ) (101.3-0)


    (8.314) (298) (3)

    = 2.78*10-11 kmol/s
    The molar flow rate of air into the ammonia tank is equal to the molar flow rate of
    ammonia out of the tank
    (Na = - Nb)
    Mass flow rate of ammonia through the tube Mass flow rate of air into the ammonia tank

    M. = molecular mass * molar flow rate = molecular mass * -molar flow rate
    = (2.78*10-11) (17) = -(2.78*10-11) (29)
    = 4.73 *10-10 kg / s = -8.06 ×10-10kg / s
