Mass Transfer (BKF 2432) Group Project 1 5 Person/ Group

The document provides instructions for a group project to calculate the diffusivity of food coloring in water. Students must design and conduct an experiment to measure the diffusion of food coloring in water, then calculate the diffusion coefficient and compare it to literature values. They are instructed to document their experimental setup, observations, calculations, and results in a report and video.

Mass Transfer (BKF 2432)

Group Project 1

5 person/ group

Section: Group:

Calculate the diffusivity of food coloring in the water at the room temperature. Each group must not
have to choose the similar raw material.

1. Prepare and set up the experimental apparatus as per following list as in Figure 1 (only example);

-prepare a transparent and rectangular water container, burette or volume scale column (base on
your creativity)

(Please attach several photos to prove your apparatus setting up in this report -Marks will be
given)

Tube

Water level

Figure 1: An example of diffusion measurement setup for student illustration.

(10 Marks)
2. Capture and sketch your experimental set up and please include the dimension (size). (Please
attach several photos and complete labeling to prove your setting up in this report-Marks will be
given).

(20 Marks)

3. Conduct the experiment using your experimental setup design and observe either the food
coloring diffusion pattern. Record and list your observation.

(10 Marks)

4. Calculate the diffusion coefficient, DAB of your food coloring in aqueous solution. Student needs to
clearly State & justify the appropriate assumptions in their calculation and experimental work:

(20 Marks)

5. Compare the calculated diffusivity in (4) to the diffusivity in the literature value.

(5 Marks)

6.Create ONE VIDEO starting from the preparation of diffusion set up till you test the food color
diffusion.(10 min video)

(30 Marks)

7. References (min 3 journals, 2 textbooks)

(5 Marks)

REMARKS: The diffusivity value obtained in this project will be used in the
