Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

Air at Pressure=20.885 psf=1.000 kpa

Temperature=80.33 F=300K

Length=7.87402 inches=20cm=0.2m

velocity=44.7387 m/h=0.01242 m/s

Mass diffusivity of C10H8 vapor in air=6*10-6 m2/s

Kinematic viscosity of air =1.5*10-5 m2/s

concentration of naphthalene in the air solid naphthelene interfcace=1*105 kmole/m3

Required to find:

Average mass transfer coefficient  over the plate?

The correlation for heat transfer is

Nu=0.664Re12Pr13

similarly the analogy for mass transfer can be written as
