Question: Question 5 ( 6 marks ) The pressure in a pipeline that transports helium gas is maintained at 1 4 . 5 psia by venting

Question 5(6 marks)
The pressure in a pipeline that transports helium gas is maintained at 14.5 psia by venting helium to the atmosphere through a 0.4-in-internal-diameter tube that extends 30ft into the air. Assuming both the helium and the atmospheric air to be at 80F, the concentrations of species in the pipeline and the atmosphere remain constant. Assume helium and air are ideal the pipeline and helium concentration in the atmosp diffusion process. Determ DAB=7.7510-4ft2s. You can consider this process as equimolar counter atmosphere through the tube (a) the mass flow rate (1bms of helium lost to the into the pine (2 mark)(b) the mass flow rate (lbms) of air that infiltrates into the pipeline (2 mark)
