A rubber hose with an internal diameter of 20 mm and a wall thickness of 3 mm is used to transmit oxygen at a pressure of 3 bar. The pipeline is surrounded by atmospheric air and the solubility of oxygen in the rubber is 3·10-2 kmol / (m3·bar). The mutual diffusion coefficient of oxygen in rubber is 1.2 · 10-10 m2/s. Find the mass flow of oxygen flowing through the hose wall as a result of diffusion
