    Gaseous Diffusion Coefficient Apparatus

    Apparatus for investigation of mass transfer and gaseous diffusion has traditionally used a capillary tube in
    a hot water bath, with a travelling microscope used to measure the rate of diffusion over a period of time.
    Although capable of giving good results, this type of apparatus was not without its disadvantages,
    particularly ease of use.

    BASIC PROCESS PRINCIPLES


    CERaMkII Gaseous Diffusion Coefficient Apparatus
    Issue 11
    Armfield have yet again introduced a radical alternative to the traditional methods, utilising the benefits of modern
    computer-compatible microscopy, producing a novel system with a large number of benefits.

    Ordering Specification
    A self-contained bench-mounted apparatus for the determination of diffusion coefficients of a vapour in air
    The apparatus blows air across the top of the capillary tube, inside diameter 2mm
    The tube is contained in a heated aluminium block with a 25W heater
    The temperature control system maintains the temperature of the block to better than +/- 1C from ambient
    to 60C
    Operating temperature typically achieved in 20 min (40C operation)
    The equipment incorporates a high-definition USB microscope with a resolution of 1600x1200 and preset
    to an optical gain of approximately x37
    Microscope and heater block containing the capillary are visible to the user and internal illumination of the
    capillary is provided
    Viewing length of the capillary is 12mm
    Physical reference scale provided (can be used for software calibration)
    Phase boundary measurement resolution < 0.0002mm
    Powered by universal power adaptor with worldwide approval
    Software can create individual images under operator control, multiple timed images under automatic
    control or timelapse video. Images can be time and date tagged. Timelapse periods can be set from five
    seconds to several days
    Output formats: .jpg .bmp .avi

    Benefits
    New approach using a computer linked high definition microscope
    Very easy to see the phase boundary, and to record images for analysis and reports
    Software includes accurate measurement facility for determining the rate of diffusion
    High measurement accuracy and resolution enables results to be obtained over a shorter timescale
    Use of automated timelapse recording enables extended time periods to be used, suitable for other liquids
    with lower diffusion coefficients than the standard acetone (propanone) to be used
    No water bath, small heater block is quick to set up and achieve a stable temperature
    Unlike water baths, it is safe to be left unattended for extended periods
    Instructional Capabilities
    Direct measurement of mass transfer rates in the absence of convective effects
    Use of gas laws to calculate concentration differences in terms of partial pressures
    Use of Ficks Law to measure diffusion coefficients in the presence of a stationary gas
    Measurement of the effect of temperature on diffusion coefficients
    Gaining familiarity with the use of laboratory instruments to achieve accurate measurements of data
    required for industrial process design
    Investigation into diffusion coefficients of alternative fluids

    Description
    A small quantity of the volatile liquid to be investigated is placed in a capillary tube, which is positioned in a
    heated metal block. The block is heated by an electric cartridge heater and kept at a constant temperature
    using an electronic control loop.

    A stream of air is passed across the top of the capillary tube, with a stationary layer of air above the liquid
    surface, creating a partial pressure difference between the liquid surface and the flowing air stream. As
    vapour diffuses from the liquid into the air stream, the amount of liquid in the tube reduces and the phase
    boundary between the liquid and the air drops. Measurement of how this phase boundary changes with
    time enables the molar mass transfer rate to be determined.

    A slot in the heater block enables the phase boundary to be observed using a high-definition microscope.
    This microscope produces high-definition images onto a standard Windows computer (not supplied).

    The software provided with this microscope includes highly accurate measurement and an automated
    timelapse facility (either as video or multiple still images).
