A well located in the desert is 10 m deep to the water level and 1 m in diameter. The stagnant air and the water in the well are at 30°C and normal atmospheric pressure. A slight breeze of dry air is blowing across the top of the well. Calculate the rate (kg/s) of diffusion at steady state of water vapor from the surface of water in the well. (Assume the partial pressure of water vapor in the air at the surface of the water is equal to the vapor pressure of water at 30°c.)

A 3-m-internal-diameter spherical tank made of 1-cm-thick stainless steel is used to store iced water at 0°C. The tank is located outdoors at 18°C. Assume the entire steel tank to be at 0°C and thus the thermal resistance of the tank to be negligible. The heat of fusion of water at atmospheric pressure is hif = 333.7 kJ/kg. The emissivity of the outer surface of the tank is 0.75, and the convection heat transfer coefficient on the outer surface can...

column 0.6 m diameter and 6 m high is packed with 25 mm ceramic Raschig rings and used in a gas absorption process carried out at 101 KPa and 300 K. If the liquid and gas properties approximate to those of water and air (water viscosity=1 mNs/m2, air viscosity=0.02 mNs/m2) and their flowrates are 2.4 and 0.95 kg/m2s respectively. The packing properties are the following: voidage (e) is 0.71, specific surface area (S) is 190 m2/m3. Calculate the wet pressure...

A closed and elevated vertical cylindrical tank with diameter 2.20 m contains water to a depth of 0.900 m . A worker accidently pokes a circular hole with diameter 0.0180 m in the bottom of the tank. As the water drains from the tank, compressed air above the water in the tank maintains a gauge pressure of 5.00×103Pa at the surface of the water. Ignore any effects of viscosity. Part A Just after the hole is made, what is the...

A 3-m-diameter tank is initially filled with water 2 m above the center of a sharp-edged 10-cmdiameter orifice. The tank water surface is open to the atmosphere, and the orifice drains to the atmosphere through a 100-m-long pipe. The friction coefficient of the pipe can be taken to be 0.015 and the effect of the kinetic energy correction factor can be neglected. Someone suggests that it makes no difference whether the pump is located at the beginning or at the...
