    FOURTH SEMESTER B.Tech., (CHEMICAL ENGINEERING)
    END SEMESTER EXAMINATION - May 2014
    SUBJECT: MASS TRANSFER-I (CHE-204)
    Time: 3 Hrs

    Max.Marks:100

    Instructions to Candidates:
    Answer any FIVE FULL questions.
    All questions carry equal marks.( 5 * 20 = 100 )
    Make suitable assumptions if required.
    1a

    Estimate the diffusivity of Methanol vapour (CH3OH, Mol. Wt. 32) through Air 10
    (Mol. Wt. 29) at 1.2 atm and 100C. [/k for air 78.6 K, methanol 481.8 K] { r
    value for air is 0.3711 nm and methanol 0.3626 nm}

    1b

    Calculate the rate of diffusion of acetic acid (A, Mol. Wt. 60) across a film of 5
    non-diffusing water(B, Mol.wt 18) solution (2mm thick) when the mole fraction
    of acetic acid in at two locations are 0.04 and 0.012. (

    1c

    Derive the equation for molar flux for, under steady state conditions of A is 5
    diffusing through B with following stoichiometry (2AB)

    2a

    Porous Alumina spheres, 10 mm diameter, 25% voids were thoroughly 15


    impregnated with an aqueous potassium chloride, KCl solution, concentration
    0.25 g/m3. When immersed in pure running water, the spheres lost 90% of their
    salt content in 5 h. The temperature was 25 0C. At this temperature the average
    diffusivity of KCl in water over the indicated concentration range is 1.84x10 -9
    m2/s. Estimate the time for removal of 99% of the dissolved solute if the spheres
    had been impregnated with Potassium chromate K2CrO4 solution at a
    concentration 0.2 g/cm3, when immersed in a running stream of pure water. The
    average diffusivity of K2CrO4 in water at 250C is 1.14x10-9 m2/s.

    2b

    Oxygen (A) is diffusing through Carbon Monoxide (B) under steady state
    5
    5
    conditions, with the Carbon monoxide non-diffusing. The total pressure is 1x10
    N/m2, and the temperature is 00C. The partial pressure of oxygen at two planes 2.0
    mm apart is, respectively, 13000 and 6500 N/m2. The diffusivity for the mixture
    is 1.87x10-5 m2/s. Calculate the rate of diffusion of oxygen in kmol/s through each
    square meter of the two planes.

    Water is flowing in benzoic acid cast tubes of diameter 5 cm with a length of 35


    cm long Benzoic tube proceeded by 300 cm of metal pipe. Pure water at 35 0C
    with a Reynolds number 200 enters the pipe. Estimate the average concentration
    of Benzoic tube in the water leaving the cast tube. Solubility of benzoic acid in
    water is 0.0034 g/cm3. Viscosity of water 0.75x10-3 pa.s, density of water is 990
    kg/m3 and Diffusivity of benzoic acid into water is 12x10-10 m2/s

    Discuss the choice of equipment used for gas-liquid operations between packed
    10
    and tray towers (atleast 10 parameters)
    A coal gas is to be freed of its light oil by scrubbing with wash oil as an 20
    absorbent. Gas in 0.3 m3/s at 260C and pt =1.07x105 N/m2 containing 3.0% by
    volume of light oil vapors. The light oil will be assumed to be entirely benzene
    and a 90% removal is required. Wash Oil and Benzene solutions are ideal solution
    and temperature is constant (vapour pressure of benzene at 260C is 13330 N/m2)
    wash oil is to enter at 26 0C, containing 0.005 mole fraction benzene and has an
    average mol. Wt. 260. Find the number of theoretical stages required for an oil
