Question: Problem 3. A liquid containing dilute solute A at a concentration c1=0.04kmol/m3 is flowing rapidly past a membrane of thickness L=2.0105m. The distribution coefficient K=1.5

Problem 3. A liquid containing dilute solute A at a concentration c1=0.04kmol/m3 is flowing rapidly past a membrane of thickness L=2.0105m. The distribution coefficient K=1.5 and DAB=7.0105m2/s in the membrane. The solute diffuses through the membrane, and its concentration on the other side is c2=0.005kmol/m3. The mass-transfer coefficient kc1 is large and can be considered as infinite, and kc2=2.02105m/s. (A) Derive the equation to calculate the steady-state flux NA and make a sketch. (B) Calculate the flux and the concentrations at the membrane interfaces
