Calculate the value of the mass-transfer coefficient and the flux for mass transfer from a sphere of naphthalene to air at 45 oC and 1 atm abs flowing at a velocity of 0.305 m/s. The diameter of the sphere is 25.4 mm. The diffusivity of naphthalene in air at 45 oC is 6.92 x 10-6 m2/s and the vapor pressure of solid naphthalene is 0.555 mm Hg. Viscosity of air is 1.93 x 10-5 Pa.s, density of air is 1.113 kg/m3
