A tanker ship is transporting 0.798 kg/m3 of a rare gas in its tank. After the fill-up, the 1.94 m long pipe used to fill the tank was left open for 10.4 hours. In that time, 11.7 x10-4 kg of the gas diffuses out of the tank, almost nothing compared to the original quantity of gas in the tank. If the concentration of that gas in our atmosphere is typically zero, and the diffusion constant of that gas is 2.13 x10-5 m2/s, what is the cross-sectional area of the pipe?
Calculate μ, Cv, K, and Pr for oxygen at 100, 300, and 1000 K, and 1 atm. Compare your calculated
results with the values tabulated in most heat transfer textbooks to estimate the relative differences.
Air at 90°C and 1.00 atm (absolute) contains 10.0mole% water. A continuous stream of this air enters a compressor—condenser, in which the temperature is lowered to 15.6°C and the pressure, is raised to 3.00 atm. The air leaving the condenser is then heated isobarically to 100°C. Calculate the fraction of water that is condensed from the air, the relative humidity of the air at 100°C, and the ratio m3 outlet air at 100°C/m3 feed air at 90°C.
