Cubic shape gel beads of 8 mm on a side contains residual solvent from the gel-casting process. Initially the bead contains 0.20 % of residual solvent uniformly distributed within the polymer. The residual solvent will be removed from the bead by drying the beads in a fluidized bed of fresh air. The air flow though the fluidized bed is very high so that convective mass transfer resistance is negligible (i. e. Kc is extremely high). a. What is the residual concentration at the surface of the bead after 50 hrs? Use, DAB = 4X10-7 cm2 /s. b. If this geometry is approximated as a semi-infinite medium, how long it will take for the solvent to reach 0.18% composition at a depth of 0.1 mm from the surface of the bead. Please solve taking the system as a semi-infinite medium

Along 8-cm diameter steam pipe whose external surface temperature is 900c connects two buildings. the pipe is exposed to ambient air at 70c with a wind speed of 50 km/hr blowing across the pipe. determine the heat loss from the pipe per unit length. (b) air at 500c enters a section of a rectangular duct (15 cm x 20 cm) at an average velocity of 7 m/s. if the walls of the duct are maintained at 100c. a) the length of the tube for an exit temperature of the air to be 40 0c. b)the rate of heat transfer from the air. c) the fan power needed to overcome the pressure drop in this section of the duct.
