Question:
A common procedure for increasing the moisture content of air is to bubble it through a column of water. The air bubbles are assumed to be spheres, each having a radius of 1.0 mm, and are in thermal equilibrium with water at 298 K. Determine how long the bubble should remain in the water to achieve a vapor concentration at the center that is 90% of the maximum possible (saturation) concentration. Assume that the air is dry when it enters the column of water and that the air inside the small bubble is stagnant. The vapor pressure of water versus temperature is available from many sources, including the steam tables.
