A polyethylene (PE) membrane is being used as an oxygen barrier. Oxygen is being supplied on the high pressure side at 0.25 kg/m3, and on the other side is a vacuum (concentration of oxygen is 0 kg/m3). If the desired flux is 4E-8 kg/m2s, what should the thickness of the PE membrane be? Answer in mm. The diffusion coefficient of oxygen in PE at the operating temperature is 4.5E-11 m2/s. Equation is J= -D(C1-C2/X1-X2)

An open tank, 6 mm in diameter, contains 1 mm deep layer of benzene (Mol wt = 78) at its bottom. The vapour pressure of benzene in the tank is 13.15 kN/m2 and its diffusion takes place through a stagnant air film 2.5 mm thick, At the operating temperature of 20°C, the diffusivity of benzene in the tank is 8.0 x 10-6 m2/s. If the benzene has a density of 880 kg/m³, calculate the time taken for the entire benzene to evaporate. Take atmospheric pressure as 101.3 kN/m² and neglect any resistance to diffusion of benzene beyond the air film. %3D
