Question:

It is observed that a 230-mm-diameter pan of water at 23°C has a mass loss rate of 1.5 X 10-5 kg/s when the ambient air is dry and at 23°C.

(a) Determine the convection mass transfer coefficient for this situation.

(b) Estimate the evaporation mass loss rate when the ambient air has a relative humidity of 50%.

(c) Estimate the evaporation mass loss rate when the water and ambient air temperatures are 47°C, assuming that the convection mass transfer coefficient remains unchanged and the ambient air is dry.
