4B al

In an air-carbon dioxide mixture at 298 K and 202.6 kPa, the
concentration of CO2 at two planes (3 mm) apart are 15 vol% and 25
vol%. The diffusivity of CO2 in air at 298K and 202.6 kPa is 8.2x106 m?/s.
Estimate the rate of transfer of CO2 across the two planes assuming:
(1)
Equimolar Counter diffusion
(ii)
Diffusion of CO2 through a stagnant air layer
(ii)
Compare the results of (i) and (ii) with valid justification
