Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer
- 3. Mass Transfer from a Pipe Wall. Air at 52.6 °C and 1 atm abs pressure passes through a pipe with naphthalene lining. The pipe's diameter in 25 mm. The vapor pressure of naphthalene at 52.6 °C is 1.0 mm Hg. The diffusivity in air of naphthalene at 0 °C is 5.16x106 m?/s. For a 0.20 m section of a pipe that is lined with naphthalene, calculate the exiting concentration if the entering air carries 0.001 kgmol/m of naphthalene and has a velocity of 0.30 m/s.
