Get started for freeUsing the analogy between heat and mass transfer, explain how the mass transfer coefficient can be determined from the relations for the heat transfer coefficient.
Under what conditions will the normalized velocity, thermal, and concentration boundary layers coincide during flow over a flat plate?
In transient mass diffusion analysis, can we treat the diffusion of a solid into another solid of finite thickness (such as the diffusion of carbon into an ordinary steel component) as a diffusion process in a semi-infinite medium? Explain.
Consider a brick house that is maintained at \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and 60 percent relative humidity at a location where the atmospheric pressure is \(85 \mathrm{kPa}\). The walls of the house are made of 20 -cm-thick brick whose permeance is \(23 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{s} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2} \cdot \mathrm{Pa}\). Taking the vapor pressure at the outer side of the wallboard to be zero, determine the maximum amount of water vapor that will diffuse through a \(3-\mathrm{m} \times 5-\mathrm{m}\) section of a wall during a 24-h period.
Does a mass transfer process have to involve heat transfer? Describe a process that involves both heat and mass transfer.
