Liquid (A) flows down as a thin film over the outside surface of a vertical flat plate 1.5 m wide (W = 1.5 m) and 3.5 m long (L = 3.5). Inert gas (B) flows across (perpendicular to) the width of the flat plate at a speed of 5 m/s. The supply of (A) is 0.27 mol/s at one end of the plate and the flow is considered to be turbulent. The gas composition of (A) at the edge of the film is 14% and in the bulk 0%.

(B) can be assumed non-diffusing (NB = 0). The system is not dilute.

Viscosity of liquid (A), μA = 0.0000161 Pa×s = 1.61x10-5 Pa×s Diffusion coefficient of A through B, DAB = 1x10-5 m2/s Density of A, rA = 1.2 kg/m3
Total concentration, c = 44 mol/m3

How many meters of the plate will be dry from (A)? ‘show your working out’

A Newtonian liquid of density 2400 kg m-3 flows down under gravity in steady, laminar conditions over an inclined flat plate at an angle of 30° to the horizontal plane. The thickness of the film can be taken as constant. The velocity distribution across the liquid film is given by: ux= (ρgδ/μ)y(1-y2/δ)sinθ where ux= velocity in the x-direction along the plate, r = density of liquid, g = gravitational acceleration, d = liquid film thickness, m = viscosity of liquid,...

A liquid of density 1394 kg/m3 flows with speed 2.48 m/s into a pipe of diameter 0.21 m . The diameter of the pipe decreases to 0.05 m at its exit end. The exit end of the pipe is 5.43 m lower than the entrance of the pipe, and the pressure at the exit of the pipe is 1.5 atm. Applying Bernoulli’s principle, what is the pressure P1 at the entrance end of the pipe? Assume the viscosity of the...
