A thin plastic membrane is used to separate helium from a gas stream. Under steady-state conditions the concentration of helium

in the membrane is known to be 0.02 and 0.005 kmol/m^3 at the inner and outer surfaces, respectively. If the member is 1mm thick and the binary diffusion coefficient of helium with respect to the plastic is 10^-9 m^2/s, what is the diffusive flux?

Answer:

N_A=1.5*10^-8 kmol/s.m^2

Explanation:

<u>KNOWN: </u>

Molar concentration of helium at the inner and outer surfaces of a plastic membrane. Diffusion coefficient and membrane thickness.  

<u>FIND:</u>

Molar diffusion flux.  

<u>ASSUMPTIONS:</u>

(1) Steady-state conditions, (2) One-dimensional diffusion in a plane wall, (3) Stationary medium, (4) Uniform C = C_A + C_B.  

<u>ANALYSIS:</u> The molar flux may be obtained from

 N_A=D_AB/L(C_A,1-C_A,2)

       =10^-9 m^2/s/0.001 m(0.02-0.005)kmol/m^3

N_A=1.5*10^-8 kmol/s.m^2

<u>COMMENTS:</u> The mass flux is:

n_A,x=M_a*N_A,x

n_A,x=6*10^-8 kg/s m^2

What do you mean by Hard water?

The amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium in the water determines its hardness. Calcium and magnesium are the main dissolved minerals in hard water. The last time you washed your hands, you might have actually felt the effects of hard water.

What do you mean by acid rain?

Any type of precipitation that contains acidic elements, such as sulfuric or nitric acid, that falls to the ground from the atmosphere in wet or dry forms is referred to as acid rain, also known as acid deposition. Rain, snow, fog, hail, and even acidic dust can fall under this category.

Some plants are sensitive to excessive moisture around their root zone, so it may be necessary to increase drainage when growing plants in pots. Additionally, standing water at the bottom of the pot can cause root rot.

Many university agriculture extension agencies have thoroughly debunked the old garden myth that adding rocks to the bottom of a pot will increase drainage.

What is the minimum efficiency of a functioning current-model catalytic converter? a. 60% b. 75% c. 80% d. 90%
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

d. 90%

Explanation:

As we know that internal combustion engine produce lot's of toxic gases to reduce these toxic gases in the environment a device is used and this device is know as current modeling converter.

Generally the efficiency of current model catalytic converter is more than 90%.But the minimum efficiency this converter is 90%.

So option d is correct.

d. 90%

A vertical piston-cylinder device initially contains 0.2 m3 of air at 20°C. The mass of the piston is such that it maintains a c
Ann [662]

Answer:

Amount of air left in the cylinder=m_{2}=0.357 Kg

The amount of heat transfer=Q=0

Explanation:

Given

Initial pressure=P1=300 KPa

Initial volume=V1=0.2m^{3}

Initial temperature=T_{1}=20 C

Final Volume=V_{2}=0.1 m^{3}

Using gas equation

m_{1}=((P_{1}*V_{1})/(R*T_{1}))

m1==(300*0.2)/(.287*293)

m1=0.714 Kg

Similarly

m2=(P2*V2)/R*T2

m2=(300*0.1)/(0.287*293)

m2=0.357 Kg

Now calculate mass of air left,where me is the mass of air left.

me=m2-m1

me=0.715-0.357

mass of air left=me=0.357 Kg

To find heat transfer we need to apply energy balance equation.

Q=(m_{e}*h_{e})+(m_{2}*h_{2})-(m_{1}*h_{1})

Where me=m1-m2

And as the temperature remains constant,hence the enthalpy also remains constant.

h1=h2=he=h

Q=(me-(m1-m2))*h

me=m1-me

Thus heat transfer=Q=0
