The moisture in hot, humid, stagnant air surrounding a cold-water pipeline continually diffuses to the cold surface where it condenses. The condensed water forms a liquid film around the pipe, and then continuously drops off the pipe to the ground below. At a distance of 10 cm from the surface of the pipe, the moisture content of the air is constant. Close to the pipe, the moisture content of the air approaches the vapor pressure of water evaluated at the temperature of the pipe.
a. Draw a picture of the physical system, select the coordinate system that best describes the transfer process, and state at least five reasonable assumptions of the mass-transfer aspects of the water condensation process.
b. What is the simplified form of the general differential equation for mass transfer in terms of the flux of water vapor, NA?
c. What is the simplified differential form of Fick’s equation for water vapor, NA?
d. What is the simplified form of the general differential equation for mass transfer in terms of the concentration of water vapor, cA?

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.

Awall of 0.5m thickness is to be constructed from a material which has average thermal conductivity of 1.4 w/mk. the wall is to be insulated with a material having an average thermal conductivity of 0.35 w/mk so that heat loss per square meter shall not exceed 1450 w. assume inner wall surface temperature of 1200°c and outer surface temperature of the insulation to be 15°c. calculate the thickness of insulation required.
