Among various plastic hoses, silicone hose has the highest diffusion coefficient for diffusion
of nitrogen gas, which is kept under pressure, through the walls. By using shell balance
method, derive the concentration profile for diffusion process. Explain how the flux
changes with respect to the plastic hose types that are given in the table below. (Boundary
conditions:@ r=Ri , CA= CAi and @ r=R0, CA= CA0).
Material DAB for N2 gas
(cm2/s)
Teflon 1.25
Nylon 60.00224
PVC 0.014
Silicone 400
