Tutorial 2: Convective mass transfer

1. A value of kG was experimentally determined to be 1.08 lb mol/h.ft2.atm for A diffusing

2. A large volume of pure water at 26.1°C is flowing parallel to a flat plate of solid benzoic
acid, where L = 0.137 m in the direction of flow. The solubility of benzoic acid is 0.02948
kgmol/m3 and diffusivity is 1.245 x 10-9 m2/s. Calculate the flux for a water velocity of
0.152 m/s. Do not assume that xBM = 1 but actually calculate its value.

3. Estimate the value of the mass transfer coefficient in a stream of air at 325.6 K flowing in
a duct past the following shapes made of solid naphthalene. The velocity of the air is 1.524
m/s at 325.6 K and 202.6 kPA. The DAB of naphthalene in air is 5.16 x 10-6 m2/s at 273
K and 101.3 kPa.
(a) For air flowing parallel to a flat plate 0.152 m length
(b) For air flowing past a single sphere 12.7 mm in diameter

4. Pure water at 26.1°C is flowing at a rate of 0.0701 ft3/h through a packed bed of 0.251-in
benzoic acid spheres having a total surface area of 0.129 ft2. The solubility of benzoic acid
in water is 0.00184 lb mol/ft3. Calculate the mass transfer coefficient kc.
1. A value of kG was experimentally determined to be 1.08 lb mol/
h.ft2.atm for A diffusing through stagnant B. For the same flow and
concentrations it is desired to predict k’G and the flux of A for
