PROBLEM (please solve all parts and show all steps)
30.1 Spherical pellets of 1.0diameter are spray-painted with a very thin coat of paint. The paint contains a volatile solvent. The vapor pressure of the solvent at 298K is 1.17 x 10^4Pa,and the diffusivity of the solvent vapor in air at 298 K is 0.0962 cm^2/s. The amount of solvent in the wet paint on the pellet is 0.12g solvent per cm^2 of pellet is 0.12 g solvent per cm^2 of pellet surface area. The molecular weight of the solvent is 78 g/gmole.
a.Detemine the minimum time to dry the painted pellet if still air at 298K and 1.0 atm surrounds the pellet.
b. Determine the time to dry the painted pellet if air at 298 K and 1.0atm pressure flows around the pellet at a bulk velocity of 1.0 m/s.
