Question: Problem 2. (30 points) Mass Transfer Heat Transfer K-C/c = 1.0 K = c/c 1.0 A solid spherical particle with a diameter of 0.5 mm

 Problem 2. (30 points) Mass Transfer Heat Transfer K-C/c = 1.0

Problem 2. (30 points) Mass Transfer Heat Transfer K-C/c = 1.0 K = c/c 1.0 A solid spherical particle with a diameter of 0.5 mm is suspended in a liquid solvent. Solute A is being absorbed from the solvent into the solid particle. Initially the particle has concentration CA = 0 kgmol/m. The bulk liquid concentration of A is 54.1 kgmol/m?. The diffusivity of A in the solid particle is DAB = 1.56 x 10-11 m/s and the partition coefficient is K = 0.32.
