Question: Equimolar counter diffusion is occurring at steady state in a tube 0 . 1 1 m long containing N 2 and CO gases at a

Equimolar counter diffusion is occurring at steady state in a tube 0.11 m long containing N2 and CO gases at a total pressure of 1.0 atm absolute. The partial pressure of N2 is 80 mmHg at one end and 10 mmHg at the other end.
(a) Predict the diffusivity by the Wilke-Lee method and compare the result with the experimental value.
(b) Calculate the flux in kmol.s-1.m-2 at 298 K for N2.
(c) Repeat part (b) at 473 K. Does the flux increase?
(d) Repeat at 298 K but for a total pressure of 3.0 atm absolute. The partial pressures of N2 remains at 80 and 10 mmHg. Does the flux change?
