A single potassium chloride (KCl) spherical crystal 0.1 cm in diameter is immersed in a 5 % supersaturated solution containing 25wt% potassium chloride. Assuming the mass transfer coefficient is 0.012 cm/s, Calculate the rate mass flux of KCl to the crystal and consequently calculate the rate of crystal growth (cm/s)

Liquid solution density: 1.20 g cm-3

Crystal density: 2.0 g cm-3

A saturated solution of potassium chloride at 90 °C containing 700 kg potassium chloride is cooled to 20 °C in an open tank by circulation of water. The cooling water enters the tank at 15 °C through a jacket and leaves at 25 °C. The solubility of potassium chloride is 53.9 and 34.2 gm/100ml of water at 90 and 20 °C respectively, The average specific heat and density of the solution are 0.48 cal/g.°C and 1.2 g/cm', respectively. Assuming the...

A 1 m outer diameter spherical tank made of AISI 304 steel with 10 cm wall thickness contains solid iced water at 0°C. Air at 25°C flows outside the tank with a velocity of 1 m/s. Determine the rate of heat transfer to the tank and the mass rate ( m_dot) at which ice melts. Ignore convection effects of the melting ice. The latent heat of fusion of water at 0°C is 333.7 kJ/kg.
