4341-131 1 CHE 3332/16 October 21, 2016 MIDTERM EXAM #1 HC-09 and 10 07-07:50 pm. OPEN BOOK Read the instruetions carefully before you start the exam. ‘You are allowed to use the course textbook, your homework assignments with the solutions, the class notes (only materials from lectures and tutorials; no personal notes or worked out examples, except those that are allowed) and up to two double sided formula sheets (formulas only). No other materials are allowed. Provide all necessary calculations in your solutions. Incomplete calculations will not be credited Only non-programmable calculators, according to the list provided on the course syllabus, are allowed for calculations. Attempt both questions for a total of 20 points, State all assumptions clearly. 1. Pure oxygen is flowing through a tube at atmospheric pressure and 20 C; the atmosphere around the tube is air at 20 C and 135 kPa. The mean free path of oxygen can be estimated as 2.5107 m, The tube wall is 1 mm thick and there is a tiny hole in the wall, d= 1.5*10" m: a) What mass transfer mechanism is responsible for the transfer of oxygen into the air outside the tube? Provide a quantitative answer. (2 points) b) Calculate the flux (kmol/(m? s) of oxygen into the air. (15 points) ©) If the hole from parts (a) and (b) is enlarged to 3.5107 m would you expect the flux of oxygen to change (higher or lower) or remain the same. Briefly explain. (B55 points) 2. Calculate the ratio of molar diffusional fluxes of ammonia in air and of ammonia in water at 1 atm and 15 C, if the concentration gradient of ammonia is 2*10 mol fraction/em in both cases. Assume equimolar counter-diffusion.
