Consider a single, porous, spherical, inert mineral particle. The pores inside the particle are filled with liquid water (species B). We are interested in analyzing the molecular diffusion of the contaminant benzene (species A) within the water- filled pores of the particle. Benzene is very sparingly soluble in water, and does not adsorb onto the intersurfaces of the pores. The process is isothermal at 298 K. The concentration of dissolved benzene in the water surrounding the particle is constant with time. Starting with the general differential equation for mass transfer, develop the differential equation to describe the concentration profile of benzene within the single, porous, spherical, inert mineral particle. The effective diffusion coefficient of benzene in the water-filled pores of the particle is represented by the term DAe. As part of the analysis, state all reasonable assumptions, as well as boundary/initial conditions for the process.

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
