a. What are the Schmidt numbers for CO and O₂ mass transfer? What species (CO, O2, CO₂) is considered the carrier gas? b. For CO mass transfer, what is the average convective mass- transfer coefficient (ke) over the 0.50 m length of the catalytic surface, and the local mass transfer coefficient (kex) at the far edge of the catalytic surface (x= L = 0.50 m)? c. Using boundary-layer theory, scale ke for CO mass transfer to ke for O₂ transfer. d. At 600 K, the surface reaction constant for the first-order oxidation reaction with respect to CO concentration is k,= 1.5 cm/s. What is the average molar flux of CO to the catalytic surface, assuming that the composition of CO in the bulk gas is maintained at 0.10 mole%?
