In order to prepare Lithium nitride, air is passed gently over a reactor. Suppose that Nitrogen diffuse to a length 5cm before getting reacted with Lithium. Nitrogen reacts with lithium quickly so that partial pressure of Nitrogen at that point is 0. Reactor is a cylinder of length 10cm and diameter 2cm. Assume air to be a mixture of Nitrogen and Oxygen only. The temperature is 298K and total pressure 1atm. Diffusivity of N2 in O2 is 2*10^-5m^2/s. Calculate the Molar flux (mol/m^2.s) of N2 at a distance of 2.5cm from the top with respect to an observer moving with twice the mass average velocity a direction towards the liquid surface. (R=8.205*10^-5m^3atmK^-1mol^-1). Assume z=0 at the top of the reactor.

Oxygen diffuses through a stagnant layer of air, 1mm thick, ambient temperature 28°C and 1atm total pressure. The partial pressure of oxygen on two sides of layer is P1=0.9atm and P2=0.1atm respectively. Calculate the value of Molar flux (in mol/m^2.s) with respect to an observer moving with molar average velocity. Calculate this value at the end of the path where P2=0.1atm. Use R=8.205*10^-5m^3atmK^-1mol^-1.

In an accident a container containing ethanol(s.g 0.789) falls down in a room of dimension 1*1*2(all in m). Ethanol forms a layer of 2mm. Ethanol vaporizes and diffuses through a stagnant film of air of thickness 2.5mm. What will be the time required for the water layer to disappear completely. The diffusivity of ethanol in air is 2.567*10^-5 m^2/s. the total pressure is 1.013 bar and the pressure of ethanol in bulk air is 0.02244 bar and at the ethanol-air interface is 0.02718bar. The temperature is 25.2°C.

The crank-pin circle radius of a horizontal engine is 300 mm. The mass of the reciprocating parts is 250 kg. When the crank has travelled 30° from T.D.C., the difference between the driving and the back pressures is 0.45 N/mm^2. The connecting rod length between centres is 1.2 m and the cylinder bore is 0.5 m. If the engine runs at 250 r.p.m. and if the effect of piston rod diameter is neglected, calculate the net load on piston.
