Problem 6.1-1 (pg 452) Diffusion of Methane
Through Helium
A gas of CH4 and He is contained in a tube at 101.32 kPa pressure and 298
K. At one point the partial pressure of methane is pA1 = 60.79 kPa, and at a
point 0.02 m distance away, pA2 = 20.26 kPa. If the total pressure is
constant throughout the tube, calculate the flux of CH4(methane) at
steady state for equimolar counter diffusion.

the other end is 0.020 atm. Calculate the following for steady-state
equimolar counterdiffusion:

Example 6.2-2 (pg 419) Diffusion of Water
Through Stagnant, Nondiffusing Air
Water in the bottom of a narrow metal tube is held at a constant
temperature of 20o
C. The total pressure of air (assumed dry) is1.0 atm
and the temperature is 20o
C. Water evaporates and diffuses through
the air in the tube, and the diffusion path z2– z1 is 0.1524 m (0.5 ft)
long. The diagram is similar to Fig 6.2-2a. Calculate the rate of
evaporation at steady state in lb mol/hr.ft2

Problem 6.2-3 (pg 453) Diffusion of A Through
Stagnant B and Effect of Type of Boundary on Flux
Ammonia gas is diffusing through N2 under steady state conditions
with N2nondiffusing since it is insoluble in one boundary. The total
pressure is 1.013 x 105
Pa and the temperature is 298 K. The partial
pressure of NH3 at one point is 1.333 x 104
Pa, and at the other point 20
mm away it is 6.666 x 103
Pa. The DAB for the mixture at 1.013 X 105
Pa
and 298 K is 2.30 x 10-5
m2/s.
a) calculate the flux of NH3 in kg mol/s.m2
b) do the same as (a) but assume that N2 also diffuses, both boundaries
are permeable to both gases and the flux is equimolar
counterdiffusion. In which case is the flux greater?
