Quiz
1. Differentiate between Diffusion
,Advection and Convection
2. Derive equation for net flux

A diffusing through stagnant,

non-diffusing B

When only component A is being

transferred, the total molal flux to or
away from the interface is the same
as the total molal flux of A:

Relation Between NA and NB

Answer
From the balanced chemical
equation:

4
1
NB = -4*NA
fluxes are
NA = DAB CT
z2-z1

NB

minus sign because the

NA

at opposite direction
1 1+3y2
ln
3 1+3y1

H.W(1)

Using differential equation of mass

transfer prove that is the flux for
equimolar diffusion.

H.W(2)
First Prove this equation is describing A diffusing
through stagnant, non-diffusing B Secondly used
the data below to calaculate the flux.
