As water flows down as a thin film on the inside surface of a vertical pipe (100 mm in diameter and 700 mm length), dry air flows upward at a temperature of 30

Step 1
The diffusivity (D_AB) of water vapor in air can be estimated using empirical correlations or by looking it up in tables if available. For this problem, we will assume that the diffusivity is given or can be found in a textbook or database. Let's denote the Show more…

The inner surface of a pipe with an inside diameter of 0.015 m is wet (concentration: 0.010 kmol/m^3). Dry air at 25 °C and 1 atm is sent to dry the inner surface of the pipe. The air velocity is 1.2 m/s. Since the fully formed current is formed, a.) Calculate the mass transfer coefficient k'c. b.) Calculate the evaporation flux of water. (g = 9.81 m/s^2)

Water in the bottom of a narrow metal tube is held at a constant temperature of 20°C. The total pressure of air (assumed dry) is 101.325 kPa at a temperature of 20°C. Water evaporates and diffuses through the air in the tube and diffusion path of 0.5 ft long. Calculate the rate of evaporation in lb-mole/hr-ft^2 and kg-mole/m^2-s, taking the diffusivity of water vapor at 20°C and 1 atm pressure as 0.25 x 10^-4 m^2/s.
