Question: 2 : Upper Bound Materials [ 2 0 pt ] Polymer A has a nitrogen permeability coefficient of 0 . 5 Barrers at 2 5

2: Upper Bound Materials [20 pt]
Polymer A has a nitrogen permeability coefficient of 0.5 Barrers at 25\deg C and is on the upper bound line for O2/N2 separation. It is being considered as a membrane material for a new separation, the removal of nitrogen from mixtures with CF4, a commonly used cleaning gas in the microelectronics industry. If this polymer also exhibits upper bound behavior for the N2/CF4 separation, estimate the CF4 permeability and N2/CF4 separation factor from the upper bound model. Based on a feed containing 2500 ppm CF4 in N2, what is the maximum purity of N2 that can be produced in the permeate with this membrane at 25\deg C? The kinetic diameter of CF4 is 4.7, its Lennard-Jones force constant value is 134.0 K, and its critical temperature is 227.6 K. The feed pressure is 10 bara, and the permeate pressure is 0.1 bara
