Problem 1 (20 pts) Problem 1.3 rice
Pure water is passing through a tube constructed of solid Citric acid. Since citric acid is slightly soluble in water (denote solubility as C* moles acid/cm3 solution), the inner walls of the tube will dissolve very slowly. By weighing the dried tube before and after exposure, it is possible to calculate the rate of mass transfer.
a. Sketch a flow diagram of the system ( 5 pts)
b. Take a quasi-steady-state material balance for plug velocity profiles and show that the ODE obtained is: (10 pts)
−??????+??(4?)(?∗−?)=0
where D denotes the inner tube diameter (taken as approximately invariant), v0 is liquid velocity, and kC is the (constant) mass transfer coefficient.
c. Solve the equation in a to express C as a function of Z? (5 pts)

Combustion gases passing through a 0.08-m-internal-diameter circular tube are used to vaporize waste water at atmospheric pressure. Hot gases enter the tube at 115 kPa and 250°C at a mean velocity of 5 m/s and leave at 150°C. The average heat transfer coefficient is 120 W/m2·K and the inner surface temperature of the tube is 110°C. The properties of air at the average temperature of (250+150)/2=200°C are: cp = 1023 J/kg.°C R = 0.287 kJ/kg.K A) Determine the mass flow...

Water flows at 20 cm^3/sec through a long straight tube that has an inner diameter of 1 cm. As the water flows, a toxin leaches from the tube into the water. At the inner surface of the tube, the toxin attains its saturation concentration, Csat = 2 mM. Fortunately, upon entering the water the toxin also irreversibly degrades into a non-toxic compound; this degradation follows first-order kinetics. Toxin Diffusivity D = 10^-5 cm^2/sec Toxin mass transfer coefficient k = 1.38...

Let L1 be the line passing through the point P1=(−3, −1, 1) with direction vector →d1=[1, −2, −1]T, and let L2 be the line passing through the point P2=(8, −3, 1) with direction vector →d2=[−1, 0, 2]T. Find the shortest distance d between these two lines, and find a point Q1 on L1 and a point Q2 on L2 so that d(Q1,Q2) = d. Use the square root symbol '√' where needed to give an exact value for your answer. d = Q1 = Q2 =
