Please explain this question and solve and also please make a schematic drawing and do Given, Find, Assumptions and Analysis.
Question 1 Mass diffusion
An open tank with a diameter of 3.048 meters, containing benzene at 25C, is exposed to air at latm.. Above the liquid surface is a stagnant air film 0.00508 meters thick. The mass diffusivity of benzene in air is 0.08cm2s.
1) Calculate the loss of benzene in kg/day.
2) If the tank contains iso-pentane, under aforementioned conditions, would the loss of iso-pentane be higher or lower? In case the mass diffusivity of iso-pentane in air is unknown, you attempt to
determine the value by using the Stefan tube. Do you think that the pseudo-steady state approximation is valid? Justify your answer.
