Hydrogen at a pressure of (5 mathrm{~atm}) flows within a tube of diameter (40 mathrm{~mm}) and wall

Question:

Hydrogen at a pressure of \(5 \mathrm{~atm}\) flows within a tube of diameter \(40 \mathrm{~mm}\) and wall thickness \(1.0 \mathrm{~mm}\). The outer surface is exposed to a gas stream for which the hydrogen partial pressure is \(0.05 \mathrm{~atm}\). The mass diffusivity and solubility of hydrogen in the tube material are \(1.8 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{~m}^{2} / \mathrm{s}\) and \(160 \mathrm{kmol} / \mathrm{m}^{3} \cdot \mathrm{atm}\), respectively. What is the rate of hydrogen transfer through the tube per unit length \((\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{s} \cdot \mathrm{m})\) ?
