Chapter 1, Problem 1.16P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The number of molecules of oxygen in a pound mole of air at 1atm and 0°C and number of molecules of oxygen in kilogram mole of air at 1atm and 30°C is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The number of molecules of any atom in a molecule is calculated by multiplying the number of moles of an atom with the Avogadro number.

The pound mole is to be converted into g mole and kilogram mole is to be converted into g mole.

The formula for calculating number of molecules is

  The number of molecules = The number of g mol×Avogadro's number

The number of molecules of an atom is not affected by the temperature and pressure.

Hydrogen (H₂) is considered a clean energy carrier. For its use as a fuel, hydrogen is stored at 5 bar insidea cylindrical tank made of nickel (Ni) with 7 cm inner diameter, 1.2 mm thickness, and the length of L. Thetank is maintained at 358 K. Unfortunately, a small amount of hydrogen diffuses out of the tank, slowlydepleting its contents. You may assume that the hydrogen pressure outside the tank is essentially zero andconvective resistance inside and outside of the cylinder is negligible.• Solubility of H2 in Ni at 358 K = 0.00901 kmol/m3·bar• DH2, Ni at 358 K = 1.2 x 10-12 m2/sCalculate the maximum length of the nickel tank wall to ensure that the hydrogen loss does not exceed0.01 kg per year.
You just took out a cold soda can (at 1 oC) from the refrigerator. Calculate thetemperature of the soda can after the can is placed in a room (at 31 oC, h = 100 W/m2-K) for 60 mins (we all know that soda tastes much better when it is cold!). • k = 0.617 W/m-K, density = 996 kg/m3, Cp = 4178 J/Kg-K• Height = 10 cm & Diameter = 5 cmCalculate the temperature of the soda can surface at the middle point of the heightusing 2-D analysis.
A thick nickel wall is exposed to pure 5 bar H2(g) at 85 oC on one side of its surface (13 pts).(a) Assuming thermodynamic gas-solid equilibrium, calculate the H2 concentration at the surface ofthe nickel wall. (b) Assuming that the concentration of H2 at the surface is constant, determine the concentration ofH2 at the penetration depth in percentage of its concentration at the wall surface
