Mass transfer. Solve the problem with the data, please :)

Use of correlations. Fuel is spilled on a flat surface and forms a layer of 0.25 in. thick over a length of 7 ft. The fuel is at 60 F; an At this temperature its vapor pressure is 2 psia; its kinematic viscosity is 1.05 ft2/h, its density is 54 lb/ft3 and its diffusion coefficient in air is 0.55 ft2/hr. If a breeze at 75F blow parallel to the surface of the spilled fuel at a speed of 5 miles per hour, determines the rate of evaporation of the fuel. Repeat the calculation for velocities wind speeds of 10, 15 and 20 miles/hr.
