Hydrogen gas is maintained at 3 bars and 1 bar on opposite sides of a plastic membrane which is .3 mm thick. The temperature is 25C, and the diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in the plastic at 25C is 9x10-8 m2/s. The solubility of hydrogen in the plastic membrane is 1.5x10-3 kmol/m3. What is the mass diffusive flux (in kg/m2.s) of hydrogen on the membrane

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]N_a=1.8*10^{-6}kg/sm^2[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Thickness of plastic membrane [tex]L_t=0.3mm[/tex]

The temperature of hydrogen [tex]T_h=25 \textdegree C[/tex]

Diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in the plastic [tex]25 \textdegree C \mu=9*10-8m2/s[/tex]

The solubility of hydrogen in the plastic membrane [tex]\+x=1.5*10{-3} kmol/m3[/tex]

Generally the equation for molar conc is mathematically given by

[tex]CA_1=x*bar[/tex]

3bars

[tex]CA_1=1.5*10^{-3}*3[/tex]

[tex]CA_1=4.5*10^{-3}kmol/m^3[/tex]

1bar

[tex]CA_1=1.5*10^{-3}*1[/tex]

[tex]CA_1=1.5*10^{-3}kmol/m^3[/tex]

Generally the equation for molar diffusion flux of Hydrogen N_a is mathematically given by

[tex]N_a=\frac{D{AB}}{\L}(CA_1-CA_2)[/tex]

[tex]N_a=\frac{9*10^{-8}}{0.3*10^-^3} (4.5*10^{-3}-1.5*10^{-3})kmoi/m^-3[/tex]

[tex]N_a=9.*10^{-7}kmol/sm^2*2kh/kmole[/tex]

[tex]N_a=1.8*10^{-6}kg/sm^2[/tex]
