Air flows over a rectangular container filled with benzene. Benzene evaporates and is then carried away by the air. The container has a width of 0.3 m perpindicular to the air stream and 0.75 m parallel to the stream. The temperature of ambient air is 25 degrees celsius with a velocity of .2 m/s. Assume isothermal process and bulk air contains no benzene.
1. determine convective mass transfer coefficient of benzene into air for given system (gmol/s*m2*atm]
2. what is molar flux of benzene? [gmol/m2*s]
first correct answer with all calculations and explanations gets 5 stars and best answer.
