A drum of organic solvent was left open (without cover on the top) accidentally in a room of temperature 20°C. The drum has a diameter of 50 cm and a height of 150cm. If the transport of organic solvent is controlled by gaseous phase diffusion from the drum through a stagnant layer from the liquid surface to the open air, and the concentration of organic solvent on the liquid surface is determined by the vapor pressure. 1) Calculate the mass flux of organic solvent from the drum as a function of distance from the liquid surface to the air. 2) What is the rate of organic solvent out of the opening when the drum is half empty? Given: Diffusivity of organic solvent in air, D = 0.1 cm?/s. C=0 The vapor pressure of organic solvent = 10,000PA at 20°C The molecular weight of the organic solvent =80.
