An open tank, 6 mm in diameter, contains 1 mm deep layer of benzene (Mol wt = 78) at its bottom. The vapour pressure of benzene in the tank is 13.15 kN/m2 and its diffusion takes place through a stagnant air film 2.5 mm thick, At the operating temperature of 20°C, the diffusivity of benzene in the tank is 8.0 x 10-6 m2/s. If the benzene has a density of 880 kg/m³, calculate the time taken for the entire benzene to evaporate. Take atmospheric pressure as 101.3 kN/m² and neglect any resistance to diffusion of benzene beyond the air film. %3D

Thermal energy generated by the electrical resistance of a 5-mm-diameter and 4-m-long bare cable is dissipated to the surrounding air at 80°C. The voltage drop and the electric current across the cable in steady operation are measured to be 20.0 V and 4.5 A, respectively. Disregarding radiation, estimate the surface temperature of the cable. Evaluate air properties at a film temperature of 100°C and 1 atm pressure.

A manufacturing plant produces an efluent as a waste product. As part of a waste heat recovery system, they want to use this for internal heating and cooling. The effluent is flown through a system where its temperature remains at 303.15 K. A 0.06-m diameter pipe carrying hot water and 0.04-m diameter pipe carrying cold air is passed through this effluent chamber. It can be assumed that the surface temperature of these air and water pipes are same as the effluent temperature. Water comes in at 328.15 K and exits at 308.15 K. The air comes in at 268.15 K and exits at 298.15 K. The mass flow rate of water and air is respectively, 1 kg/s and 0.01 kg/s. Determine the length of the water and air pipes in the system. Convert all calculations to C.
