Can you provide a detailed step by step solution using mass transfer formulas? A cubic volume which is 1 cm on each side is moving to the right at steady state in the +z direction with a molar bulk average velocity of 2 cm/s. In the volume there are 3 moles of A (MW=2 g/mol),2 moles of B (MW=3 g/mol) and 4 moles of C (MW=4 g/mol). Molecule A diffuses in +z direction with a diffusion rate of 2 mol/s and molecule B diffuses in the opposite direction with a diffusion rate of 2 mol/s.
Molecule C is under the effect of convective flow only. Calculate:
a) the local velocity of each component
b) the mass average velocity of the bulk
