Question 2: Steady State Diffusion of component A through a stagnant E and F in a vertical tube(25)
In a vertical tube, liquid A is at z=z1, as shown in the figure below, and is diffusing through a stagnant gas E and F in the evaporation process. In order to calculate the flux of A in the tube follows the steps below. IF the concentration of A, is xa=0.015 at z=0, and xa=0.025 at Z=z2. For this mole fraction determine the concentration in the tube as follows:
Setup the above coordinate system and draw the problem in rectangular coordinates.
Write the boundary conditions for E and F, explaining your answer.
Write down the relevant balance equations in vector form for E and F components, and simplify the terms indicating your reasons. Simplify the scalar form indicating your reasons.
Write the Stephan-Maxwell constitutive equation for E and F for the concentration in the z direction and substitute into step 3 to obtain a differential equation for the concentrations of (E and F)
Solve the above equation for E and F, and determine the concentration of A buy mole balance.
Determine the flux of A at the surface of the liquid
Determine the Log Mean average concentration of A in the tube
