Question 1

What is the primary purpose of empirical correlations?

  • To measure coefficients directly
  • To estimate coefficients with observed data
  • To ignore experimental data

💡 Hint: Think about practical applications versus theoretical measurements.

Question 2

True or False: Mass transfer coefficients are only applicable in one direction.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider mass transfer dynamics, convection, and diffusion.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A factory reports a mass transfer coefficient for water vapor diffusion of 0.5 m/s. If the vapor pressure is 10 kPa, how would you adjust this coefficient if you were to measure it in a different temperature environment where the vapor pressure increases to 15 kPa?

💡 Hint: Consider how the relationship between temperature and vapor pressure affects mean diffusion.

Question 2

If you derived a correlation that indicates the mass transfer coefficient halves with an increase in solution viscosity, how would you approach improving mass transfer in a practical scenario?

💡 Hint: Think about physical and chemical ways to manipulate the properties of the solution.
