1. Mosquito repellent (M) is contained within a cylindrical matrix (D = 3 cm, L = 15 cm) that is wrapped in a layer of cloth (3 mm thick). The matrix is a mixture of various liquid components including the repellent, which has a mole fraction (XM) of 0.35. The repellent evaporates and diffuses radially through the cloth as a gas into the surrounding air. The pure state vapor pressure of the repellent is 170 Pa. Assume an average wind speed of 5 m and an ambient air temperature is 27 °C. The repellent has different diffusivities in air (DM,air 0.02 cm²) and in the cloth (DM,cloth = 0.006 cm²). S S = Mosquito Repellent (M) Cloth Layer L = 15 cm Cross-sectional view 3 mm Air Flow D = 3 cm a. b. Determine the mass transfer coefficient (kc). Hint: In the CGS unit system, your answer will be less than 1. What is the initial rate of mosquito repellent release into the air (WM)? Do not use the rectangular approximation.
