1. In a gas-phase diffusion mass-transfer process, the steady-state flux of species A in a binary mixture of A and B is 5.0 x 10-5 kgmole A/m²s, and the flux of B is 0 (zero). At the particular point in the diffusion space, the concentration of species A is 0.005 kgmole/m³ and the concentration of species B is 0.036 kgmole/m³. Estimate the individual net velocities of species A and B along the direction of the mass transfer, and the average molar velocity.
13.5 A 300 cfm stream of an air-SO₂ mixture containing 16.2% SO₂ by volume at 68 °F and 1.0 atm is to be scrubbed with water in a countercurrent packed tower for the purpose of recovering 95% of the SO₂. The tower operates at constant temperature. Calculate the minimum water rate in lb/hr.

For Re < 2000, the Sherwood number is predicted to be related to the Reynolds number and the Schmidt number by equation (3) \mathrm{Sh}=\mathrm{aRe}^{\mathrm{b}} \mathrm{Sc}^{1 / 3}
Hot oil (c, 2200 J/kg.K) is to be cooled by water (cp 4180 J/kg.K) in a 2-shell-passes and "N-tube-passes" heat exchanger. The tubes are thin-walled and are made of copper with a diameter of 1.8 cm. The length of each tubepass in the heat exchanger is "L" m, and the overall heat transfer coefficient is 340 W/m?.K. Water flows through the tubes at a total rate of 0.1 kg/s, and the oil through the shell at a rate of 0.2 kg/s. The water and the oil enter at temperatures 18 °C and 160 °C, respectively. Design a heat exchanger if it is desired to heat the water to 80 °C.
The Coronavirus pandemic has witnessed an increase in the use of disinfectants, such as household bleach. This is an aqueous alkaline solution of sodium chloride (NaCI) and sodium hypochlorite (NaCIO), and is a powerful Acidic solutions of hypochlorous acid (HCIO) are made when chlorine gas(Cl2) dissolves in water. Reaction of the chlorine with water is considered to be fast. Write down the reaction between chlorine and water.
Noting that the Reynolds number (Re) of the reactor is given by equation (2), \mathrm{Re}=\frac{\mathrm{d}_{t} \mathrm{u}}{v} in which u is the mean electrolyte velocity, use the data provided tocalculate, at 293 K, both the Reynolds number and the Schmidtnumber as a function of the volume flow rate.
