Dry air at 15 oC and 85 kPa flows over a 2m long wet surface with a
free stream velocity of 3 m/s. Determine the mass transfer
coefficient.
• Because of low mass flux conditions, we can use dry air properties for the mixture at the
specified temperature of 15°C and 1 atm, for which v= 1.47 *105 m²/s. The mass
diffusivity of water vapor in air at 288 K is determined from Eq. below to be:
