A common process for increasing the moisture content of air is to bubble it through a column of water. The air bubbles are assumed to be spheres having a radius of 1.0mm, and are in thermal equilibrum with the surrounding water at 298K. The vapor pressure of water is 0.03 atm at 298K, and the total pressure of the gas inside the air bubble is 1.0 atm.

a) Draw a picture of the physical system and list at least five reasonable assumptions for the mass transfer aspects of the water evaporation process. State what coordinate system should be used.

b)What are the simplified differential forms of Fick's flux equation for water vapor (species A) and the general differential equation for mass transfer in terms of concentration cA ?

c) Propose reasonable boundary and initial conditions

Apiston-cylinder with a volume of 0.25 m3 holds 1 kg of air (r 0.287 k/kgk) at a temperature of 100 c. heat transfer to the cylinder causes an isothermal expansion of the piston until the volume triples. how much heat is added to the piston-cylinder?

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?
