    Mass Transfer Operations 1: Solution of Problem 2.2 (B) From Mass-Transfer Operations by Robert E. Treybal

    Uploaded by

    This document provides an example solution to calculate the flux of oxygen diffusion in a counterdiffusion process between oxygen and nitrogen gases. Given concentrations of oxygen at two planes 2 mm apart, the document shows the calculations to determine the diffusion coefficient at 25°C using relevant equations and data from tables. This is then used to calculate the molar flux of oxygen diffusion as 4.2561 × 10-4 kmol m·s-2.
