Where
(CT – CA)m = (CT – CA1) – (CT – CA2)
In CT – CA1/CT – CA2
NA1 = -D/y2 – y1 . CT/CBM (CA2 – CA1)……….. 11(a)
= -D/RT(y2 – y1) . P/Pam (PA2 - PA1) ……. 11(b)
Where the suffix m denote the log mean value of the
quantity at the positions (1) and (2)
Equation (11) can be simplified when the
concentration of the component A is small. Under
these conditions CA is small compared with the total
concentration CT then equation 11 gives
NA1 = DCT/y2 in(1 – (CA2 – CA1/CT – CA1)
= DCT/y2 – y1 (-(CA2 – CA1/CT – CA1) – ½ (CA2 – CA1/CT – CA)
For small values pf CA, this reduces to
NA1 = - D/y2 – y1 (CA2 – CA1) ……….. (12)
This eqn (12) is identical to eqn8(a) for equimolecular
counter diffusion. Thus the effect of bulk flow can be
neglected at low concentrations.
PROBLEM 1
Ammonia gas is diffusing at a constant rate through a
layer of stagnant air 1mm thick. Conditions are fixed so
that the gas contain 50% by volume of ammonia at one
boundary of the stagnant air. The ammonia diffusing to
the other boundary is quickly absorbed and the
concentration is negligible at that plane. The
temperature is 295Ok and atmospheric pressure and
under these conditions the diffusivity of ammonia in air
is 0.18an2/sec. Calculate the rate of diffusion of
ammonia through the air.
SOLUTION
Let subscript 1 and 2 refer to the two sides of the
stagnant layer and subscript A and B refer to air and
ammonia respectively.
Assumption: Consider an Ideal gas. The appropriate
equation is
NA = -D/RT(y2 – y1) . P/PBM (PA2 – PA1)
Take R = 8.314 KJ/(Kmol)(k)
P = 101.3 KN/m3
PA1 = xPT where x = mole fraction
PA1 = 103.3 x 0.5 = 50.65(KN/m2)
D = 0.18 (cm2/s)
PA2 = 0
Y2 – Y1 = 1mm = 1x10-3m
PBM = PB2 – PB1/In PB2/PB1
= +50.65/In 101/50.65 = 73.07(KN/m2)
PB1 = P – PA1
= 101.3 – 50.65
= 50.65(KN/m2)
PB2 = P – PA2
PA2 = 0
... PB2 = 101.3 – 0 = 101.3(KN/m2)
D = 0.18cm2/s = 0.18 x 10-4m2/s
P B1M = 73.07(KN/m2)
WA = -0.18 x 10-4 / 8.314 x 293x10-3 x 101.3/73.07 x (0 –
50.65)
= 5.15 x 10-4(Kmol/(m2)(s)
PROBLEM 2
A simple rectifying column consist of a tube, arranged
vertically and supplied at the button with a mixture of
bezene and toluene as vapour. At the top, a condenser
returns some of the products as are flux which flows in
a thin film down the inner walls of the tube. The tube is
insulated and heat loss can be neglected. At one point
of the column, the vapour contains 70% by mole of
benzene and the adjacent liquid reflux contains 59%
benzene. The temperature at this point is 365ok.
assuming the diffusional resistance to water vapour
transfer to be equivalent to the diffusional resistance
of a stagnant vapour layer of 0.2mm2 thick, calculate
the rate of interchange of benzene and toluene
between vapour and liquid. The molar latent heats of
the two materials can be taken as equal. The vapour
pressure of toluene at 365oK is 54KN/m2 and the
diffusivity of the vapour is 0.051 cm2/s.
SOLUTION
Take liquid surface as point, 1 and the vapour side of
the stagnant layer as point 2. This relates to equation
of equimolecular counter diffusion. From equation 8(b)
NA = - D( PA1 - PA2 )
RT( y1 – y2 )
D = 0.051 cm2/s = 0.051x 10-4 m2/s
Denote B = benzene and T = Toluene
T = 365OK
R = 8.314 KJ/(Kmol)k
Y2- y1 = 0.2mm = 0.2x10-3m
For toluene :
NT = D ( PT2 – PT1 )
RT(y2 – y1)
PT1 = ( 1 – 0.59) x 54
=22.14 ( KN/m2)
PT2 = ( 1 – 0.7) x 101.3
= 30.39 ( KN/m2)
NT = - 0.051 x 10-4( 30.39 – 22.14 )
8.314 x365 x0.2 x10-3
= - 6.93 x 10-3 (kmol/(m2)s )
The opposite signs indicate that the two fluids are
diffusing in same magnitude but in opposite directions.
COMPARISON OF RATE OF MASS TRANSFER IN
EQIUMOLECULAR COUNTER- DIFFUSION AND IN
DIFFUSION THROUGH A STATIONARY GAS
From equation 8a and 8b,
NA = - D( CA2 – CA1 )/ (y2 – y1) ……………………………..8(a)
NA = - D( PA2 – PA1)/ RT( y2 – y1 ) ……………………8(b)
We can write from 8(a)
NA = - D CA2 – CA1 = hD ( CA1 – CA2) …………………(13)
Y2 – y1
Where hD = D/ y2 -y1
From 8(b)
NA = K’G( PA1 – PA2 ) …………………………………………….13(a)
Where K’G = D/RT(y2 – y1 )
hD and k’G are mass transfer coefficients. For diffusion
through a stationary gas B, from equation 11a:
N’A = - D CA2 – CA1 x CT = hD [ CA2 – CA1 ] …………. 14
y2 – y1 CBM
where hD = D CA2 – CA1 x CT
y2 – y1 CBM
= KG ( PA2 – PA1 ) …………………………………14 a
Thus N’A = CT = KG …………………………………………..15
NA CBM K’GM
Where CA is small compared with CT, it is seen by
comparing equation 8 and 12 that the rate of transfer
of A is the same for equimolar counter diffusion as is
for diffusion through a stationary gas.
DIAGRAM
CONVECTION
In correction the rate of heat transfer from solid
boundary to a fluid is
Q = Ahc (Ts - T∞) Ts > T∞
Where hc = heat transfer coefficient
h = f(ᵨ, μ, k, Cp, D, U)
where ᵨ = density
μ = fluid viscosity
k = thermal conductivity
Cp = Heat capacity
D = dimension
U = velocity of flow
ENERGY TRANSPORT
Transport of heat between a solid
boundary and a fluid takes place by
conduction and mass transport. If the
boundary is at a higher temperature than the
fluid, heat flows first by conduction from the
olid to the fluid particles. This transmitted
energy increases the internal energy of the
fluid and is carried away by the motion of the
fluid. When the heated particles reach the
region of lower temperature. They transfer
the heat. Convection is the mode of heat
transfer closely linked with fluid motion and
so is necessary to study the fluid behavior and
motion. It is necessary to establish whether
the fluid is laminar or streamline flow. The
fluid moves in layers, the particle follows a
smooth and continuous path. The particles in
a layer remain in an orderly sequence without
crossing one another.
E.g. Soldiers on a parade provide an analogy
to this. They march along well defined lines
one behind the other and maintain the order
even when they turn over a corner and pass
over an obstacle.
Turbulent flow resembles a crowd of a
commuters at a railroad station during the
rush hour. The general head of motion is from
the gate to the train but superimposed on this
are the derivations of individuals as per their
instantaneous direction and the ability to pass
the less agile members of the crowd.
However, if the statistical average is taken it
could be steady and regular.
When a fluid is laminar motion along a
surface at a temperature different from that
of the fluid, heat is transferred from the
surface by molecular conduction. In turbulent
flow, conduction mechanism is aided by
eddies which carry lumps of fluid across the
streamlines. These act as carriers of energy
and transfer energy by mixing with other
particles of fluid. An increase in the rate of
mixing results in an increase of heat transfer.
The fluid motion can be induced in two ways.
1. Free or national convection as in the case of
water heated on a stove or like the air heated in a
desert.
2. The second type of motion is by an external
agency like a pump or a blower. Cooling of an
automobile by blowing air by a fan on the radiator
is an example of forced convection.
BOUNDARY LAYER
When a fluid flows along a surface the particles
within the vicinity of the surface are slowed down. The
particles adjacent to the surface stick to it and will have
zero velocity. The rest of the particles attempting to
slide over these surfaces are slowed down due to
viscous shear in streamline flow. In turbulent flow,
lumps fluid particles cause the shear. A short distance
from the surface, the velocity of the particles
approaches that of the free stream. The fluid contained
in the region of substantial velocity change is called a
hydrodynamic boundary layer. The thickness of the
boundary layer is the distance from the leading edge at
which the local velocity approaches 99% of the free
stream.
The velocity profile near the leading edge are in
the laminar boundary layer. The flow within the
boundary layer remains laminar only for a certain
distance from the leading edge and then becomes
turbulent. There are always small disturbances, but as
long as the viscous forces are large and dominate the
inertia forces, they prevent disturbances from growing.
As the laminar layer keeps increasing, the ratio of
viscous to inertia forces decreases and eventually a
point is reached where the disturbances will not decay
but grow with time. Then the boundary layer becomes
unstable and the transition from laminar to turbulent
flow begins. Eddies and vortexes are formed and
destroy the laminar regularity of the boundary layer
motion. Quasi-laminar motion exist only in the thin
immediate vicinity of the surface which is known as
laminar sub-layer. The region between laminar sub-
layer and fully developed turbulent layer is called
buffer layer.
The boundary layer (B.L.) divides the flow the flow field
into two domains: a region where the velocity gradient
is great and region where the velocity gradient is
nearly equal the free stream velocity and the effects of
viscosity are negligible. For some distance the flow is
laminar and later it is turbulent. Even in turbulent flow
there is a laminar sub-layer. The distance from the
leading edge at which the boundary layer becomes
turbulent is called the critical length Xc. It is specified in
terms of the local Reynold’s number, known as the
critical Reynold’s number.
Critical Reynold’s number = U∞ ρ Xcfі/ μ
= inertia force/viscous
force
= DUρ/μ
The point of transition depends upon : the surface
roughness, disturbance levels and even heat transfer.
When the flow is calm, no disturbances occur, then
laminar flow is possible even at Reynold’s number of 5
Χ 106. If the surface is rough and disturbances are
introduced into the flow, the flow becomes turbulent
at a Reynold’s number of 8 Χ 104. Under average
conditions, the flow over the plate becomes turbulent
at a distance from the leading edge where the local
Reynold’s number is 5 Χ 105.
SHEAR STRESS
Shear stress = τs = 0.332 u∞/x√Rex
Drag coefficient = τs /(ρu2∞/2) = 0.664/√Rex
This is termed as local drag coefficient or local
friction coefficient.

REVISION QUESTIONS
HEAT EXCHANGERS
A heat exchanger is any device that effects the transfer
of thermal energy from one fluid to another. In the
simplest exchangers the hot and cold fluids mix
directly; more common are those in which the fluids
are separated by a plane wall. This type, called a
recuperator, may range from a simple plane wall
between two flowing fluids to complex configurations
involving multiple passes, fins, or baffles. In this case
conductive and convective heat transfer, and
sometimes radiation, principles are required to
describe the energy exchange process.
Many factors enter into the design of heat
exchangers, including thermal analysis, size, weight,
structural strength, pressure drop and cost.
