This document contains 4 problems related to calculating fluxes and concentration profiles for gases undergoing diffusion through tubes or conduits. Problem 1 asks to describe the expression for flux and concentration profile for steady-state equimolar counter diffusion. Problem 2 calculates the flux of CO2 diffusing through a tube. Problem 3 calculates various values related to the steady-state equimolar counter diffusion of He and N2 gases. Problem 4 calculates fluxes of NH3 diffusing through stagnant and permeable N2 boundaries.

Obtain the expression describing the molar flux for steady-state equimolar counter diffusion and its concentration profile. 2. The gas CO2 is diffusing at steady state through a tube 0.20 m long having a diameter of 0.01 m and containing N2 at 298 K. The total pressure is constant at 101.32 kPa. The partial pressure of CO2 is 456 mm Hg at one end and 76 mm Hg at the other end. The diffusivity DAB is 1.67 105 m2/s at 298 K. Calculate the flux of CO2 for equimolar counterdiffusion. 3. Helium (A) and nitrogen (B) gases are contained in a conduit 5 mm in diameter and 0.1 m long at 298 K and a uniform constant pressure of 1.0 atm abs. The partial pressure of He at one end of the tube is 0.060 atm and at the other end is 0.020 atm. The diffusivity DAB of helium into nitrogen is 6.87x10-5 m2/s. Calculate the following for steady-state equimolar counterdiffusion: a. b. c. d. Flux of He in kg mol/s m2. Flux of N2. Partial pressure of Helium at a point 0.05 m from either end. Plot pA, pB and P versus distance,

4. Diffusion of A through Stagnant B and Effect of Type of Boundary on Flux. Ammonia gas is diffusing through N2 under steady-state conditions with N2 nondiffusing since it is insoluble in one boundary. The total pressure is 1.013 105 Pa and the temperature is 298 K. The partial pressure of NH3 at one point is 1.333 104 Pa, and at the other point 20 mm away it is 6.666 103 Pa. The DAB for the mixture at 1.013 105 Pa and 298 K is 2.30 105 m2/s. a. Calculate the flux of NH3 in kg mol/s m2. b. Do the same as (a) but assume that N2 also diffuses; that is, both boundaries are permeable to both gases and the flux is equimolar counterdiffusion. In which case is the flux greater?
