A 1.75-cm diameter naphthalene mothball is suspended in an air stream at 280 K, 1.0 atm, and constant velocity of 1.4 m/s. Solid naphthalene exerts a vapor pressure of 2.8 Pa at 280 K. Consequently, the naphthalene very slowly sublimes into the passing air stream, with the rate limited by convective mass transfer. The density of solid naphthalene is 1.14 g/cm3, and the molecular weight is 128 g/mole. How long will it take for the mothball to shrink to half of its original diameter? Remember: as the mothball shrinks, its diameter is decreasing, which in turn affects the Reynolds and Sherwood numbers.

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.
