Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a lake where the concentration of a pollutant is measured to be 15 mg/L. The ambient air has a concentration of 0.2 mg/L. If the mass transfer coefficient for water is estimated to be 2.5 m/s and for air is 0.5 m/s, calculate the flux of the pollutant across the air-water interface.

💡 Hint: Identify the interface concentrations using the known bulk values.

Question 2

In a chemical reactor, gas and liquid phases are reacting. You find the individual mass transfer coefficients as 1.2 m/s and 0.8 m/s respectively. The total equivalent resistance is 100. What is the implication for the rate of mass transfer and what changes would improve efficiency?

💡 Hint: Determine which phase needs adjustments to optimize mass transfer rates.
