(b) [10] Assume that during your third year vacation work at a chemical processing plant, your supervisor is trying to find out how best you mastered mass transfer concepts in CHMT 3005 course. Therefore, you have been asked to make some calculations based on the following problem: Gas X is at the bottom of a narrow tube and diffuses through a stagnant gas Y in the tube as shown in Figure 1. At point 1 the partial pressure of gas X is 412.5 torr and at point 2, which is 3107nm away from point 1 , the partial pressure is 0.14999 bar. The system is carried out isothermally at 25C and the total pressure is 1 standard atm. At this pressure and temperature, the value of mutual diffusivity is 6.75105m2/sec. (i) Calculate the flux of gas X in kmol/m2s (ii) Calculate the partial pressure of gas X at a point that is located 2cm away from point 1 in kN/m2
