Please solve problems (2) and (3) as a HW.
1. Pure H2 gas (A) at one end of non-catalytic pore of radius 50 Å and length 1 mm (xA1 =
1) is diffusing through this pore with pure C2H6 gas (B) at the other end at xA2 = 0. The
total pressure is constant at 1013.2 kPa. The predicted molar diffusivity of H2-C2H6 is
8.6 x 10-5 m2/s at 101.32 kPa and 373 K. Calculate the Knudsen diffusivity of H2 and
flux NA of H2 in the mixture at 373 K and steady-state.

2. At a total pressure of 202.6 k Pa and 358 K, ammonia gas (A) is diffusing at steady state
through an inert, non-diffusing mixture of nitrogen (B) and hydrogen (C). The mole
fraction at z1 = 0 are xA1 = 0.75, xB1 = 0.15 and xC1 = 0.1; and at z2 = 5.0 mm, xA2 = 0.2,
xB2 = 0.6 and xC2 = 0.2. The diffusivities at 358 K and 101.3 kPa are DAB = 3.28 x 10-5
m2/s and DAC = 1.093 x 10-4 m2/s. Calculate the flux of ammonia.

3. A mixture of He (A) and Ar (B) at 298 K is diffusing through an open capillary 12 mm


with a radius 10 Å. The total pressure is 1.013 x 105 Pa. The molecular diffusivity DAB
at 1.013 x 105 Pa is 7.29 x 10-5 m2/s.
a. Calculate the Knudsen diffusivity of He (A).
b. Predict the flux NA using equation (7.6-18) and Equation (7.6-12) if xA1 =0.75
and xA2 = 0.25. Assume steady state.
c. Predict the flux NA using the approximate equations (7.6-13) and (7.6-14).
d. Predict the flux NA using the approximate equations (7.6-15) and (7.6-16).
