The gas co2 is diffusin at steady state through a tube 20 cm long having a diameter of 1 cm and containing n2 at 350 k . the total pressur is constant at 101.3kpa . the partial pressure of co2 at one end is 456 mmhg and 76 mmhg at the end . the diffusivity is 0.167 cm2 /s at 298 k . calculate the mass rate of co2 if the partial pressure remains constant.

Respuesta :

The value is J = 1.71*10^-6 kmol/m^2.s

According to the given conditions we get,

The length the tube l= 0.20m

The diameter of the tube d= 0.01m

The total pressure inside the tube P= 101.32kPa

The partial pressure of CO2 at the first end is

P1= 456mm Hg = 60794.832 Pa

The partial pressure of CO2 at the other end is

P2= 76mm Hg = 10132.472 Pa

The temperature is T = 298 K

The diffusion coefficient D= 1.67* 10^-5 m^2/s

Generally the molar flux of CO2 is mathematically represented as

J= D{p1-p2} / R.T

Here R is the gas constant with value R= 8.314 j/kmol

So we get J= 1.71 * 10^-3 mol/m^2.sec
