Question: 2 . 1 6 ? c Mass transfer inside a circular pipe Water flows through a thin tube, the walls of which are lightly coated

2.16?c Mass transfer inside a circular pipe
Water flows through a thin tube, the walls of which are lightly coated with benzoic acid (C7H6O2). The water flows slowly, at 298K and 0.1cms. The pipe is 1cm in diameter. Under these conditions, equation (2-98) applies.
(a) Show that a material balance on a length of pipe Z leads to
cAout=cA**{1-exp[-kLaZv]}
where v is the average fluid velocity, and cA** is the equilibrium solubility concentration.
(b) What is the average concentration of benzoic acid in the water after a length of pipe of 2m. The solubility of benzoic acid in water at 298K is 0.003gcm3, and the mass diffusivity is 1.010-5cm2s(Cussler,1997).
Answer: 1.14mgcm3
