Question: Liquid ' B ' is flowing in laminar motion down a vertical wall. The film begins far enough the wall so that the velocity, Vz

Liquid 'B' is flowing in laminar motion down a vertical wall. The film begins far enough the wall so that the velocity, Vz, depends only on y for z>=0. For Oz L, the wall is made of species 'A' that is slightly soluble in 'B'. Assume that 'A' will not diffuse very far into the falling film so that 'A' will be present only in a very thin boundary layer near the solid surface. The species A is dissolving into a falling film of liquid B, moving a fully developed parabolic velocity profile. Also, assume transport of 'A' in z direction is by convection and in 'y' direction by diffusion only. Obtain the expression for estimation of molar flow of 'B' across the entire mass transfer surface at y =0.
