(20 points) A thin layer of palladium metal is highly permeable to fydrogen but not to other gases such as nitrogen. Thus, hydrogen can be separated from a mixture of 50 mole percent hydrogen (A) in nitrogen (B) by passing the mixture over a palladium surface. On the other side of the palladium the hydrogen pressure is adjusted so that at the surface of the palladium next to the mixture yA=0.20. If resistance to mass transfer is represented by a stagnant film 0.001m thick, calculate theflux of hydrogen through the palladium in kgmolm2-s. The process takes place at 20C and 101.325kPa. The diffusivity DAB is 0.784104m2s.
