PROBLEM | For a mixture of ethanol (Ch3Ch20H) vapor and methane (CH4), predict the diffusivity using the method of Fuller et all. At 1.0132 X 10%5 Pa and 298 and 373K. At 2.0265 x 10*S Pa and @298K Solution: A=CH4 MA= 16.04 B= CH3CH20H MB= 46.1 T= 298K P= 1.0 atm Lva = 1(16.5) 41.98) = 24.42 Lvb = 2(16.5) + 6(1.98) 5.48 = 50.36 waonioTrt( et) 2 wonwre-Feaveyt75( at DAB = (@ beat Leb ) of 882s 0208) DAB = 1.43. 10% my°2/s (98K) onb-i4ne ins 2)" A DAB = 1.43 x 10*-5 (1/2) = 0,715x 10%-S m*2/s (208K; 273i) PROBLEM 2 A flat plug 30mm thick having an area of 4.0 x 10°-4 m‘2 and made of vulcanized rubber is used for closing an opening in a container. The gas CO2 at 25C and 2.0 atm pressure is inside the container, Calculate the total leakage or diffusion of CO2 through the plug to the outside in kg mol CO2/s at steady state, Assume that the partial pressure of Co2 outside is zero. From Barrer(BS) the solubility of the CO2 gas is 0.90 m3 gas (at STP of ) C and 1 atm) per m*3 rubber per atm pressure of CO2. The diffusivity is 0.11 x 10 4-9 m*2/s.

The total pressure is constant at 101.32 kPa. The partial pressure of CO2 is 456 mm Hgat one end and 76 mm Hg at the other end. The diffusivity DAB is 1.67 x 10-5 m2/s at 298 K. Calculate the flux of CO2 in cgs and SI units for equimolar counter diffusion. Solution: The given problem denotes the equimolar counter diffusion of CO2 in a binary gas mixture. The information given in question are: | Length of tube (22-21) = 0.20 m Total pressure of gases = 101.32 kPa = = Temperature of the system (T)= 298 K | Parial pressure of CO2 at one end of tube( @z1) 1 —s a Partial pressure of CO2 at the other end of tube(@z2) PA2= 76 mmHg = 10.1325 KPa Diffusivity DAB = 1.67 X 10-5 m2 s-1 The equation of molar flux for the steady-state equimolar counter diffusion is given as, NA= DAB [PAI-PA2] /(RT[Z2-Z1]) where NA is the molar flux of CO2, PAI and PA2 are the partial pressures of CO2 at the ends of tube R is the universal gas constant with a value of 8.314 J mol-1 K-1 T is the temperature and Z2-ZI is the length of the tube On substituting the values in the above equation: Flux of CO2 in SL units: NA = 1.67x 10% -5 X ( 60.795 - 10.1325 )/8.314 X 298 X 0.2 G camscanner
