Reserve Problem 03 A gas mixture is found to contain two diatomic A and B species for which the partial pressures of both are 0.05065 MPa (0.5 atm). This mixture is to be enriched in the partial pressure of the A species by passing both gases through a thin sheet of some metal at an elevated temperature. The resulting enriched mixture is to have a partial pressure of 0.02026 MPa (0.2 atm) for gas A, and 0.01013 MPa (0.1 atm) for gas B. The concentrations of A and B (CA and CB, in mol/m3) are functions of gas partial pressures (pA2 and pB2, in MPa) and absolute temperature according to the following expressions: CA = 200 √pA2 exp(− 25.0 kJmol ) RT CB = 1.0 × 10−3 √pB2 exp(− 30.0 kJmol RT ) Furthermore, the diffusion coefficients for the diffusion of these gases in the metal are functions of the absolute temperature as follows: DA (m2s) = 4.0 × 10−7 exp − ( DB (m2s) = 2.5 × 10−6 exp(− 15.0 kJmol RT ) 24.0 kJmol RT ) Is it possible to purify the A gas in this manner?

Reserve Problem 05 If water molecules pass through a membrane with a steady state flux of [j] mole/(m2 day), how long will it take, in hours, for [m] kg of water to pass through a [a] square centimeter of the membrane? Reserve Problem 06a (question pool) The cornea is the transparent outer layer of the human eye. Because it must be transparent to light, it does not normally contain blood vessels. Therefore, it must receive its nutrients via diffusion. Oxygen from the surrounding air diffuses to the cornea through the surface tears, whereas other nutrients diffuse to the cornea from the inner parts of the eye, such as the vitreous humor and lens. During operation, the cornea produces waste in the form of CO2 gas that must be expelled to keep the eye healthy and functioning. This is accomplished by the simultaneous diffusion of CO2 from the cornea to the surrounding atmosphere, which generally features a low CO2 concentration. It is therefore critical that modern contact lens materials allow sufficient diffusion rates of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Without oxygen, the cornea will warp, lose transparency, and become susceptible to scarring. The body may also react by growing additional blood vessels into the eye, which can damage the cornea. If an increased steady-state flow rate of O2 (oxygen molecules per second) to the cornea is desired, which of the following contact lens/ambient condition modifications is not likely to be useful? Note: the flow rate is equal to product of the diffusion flux and an area of interest through which diffusion occurs. (a) Increase the contact lens thickness (b) Increase the diffusivity of oxygen gas by decreasing the contact lens porosity (c) Increase the ambient temperature (d) Increase the ambient partial pressure of oxygen gas (e) All of the suggestions (a-d) are useful for increasing the flow rate of oxygen R-38 • Reserve Questions and Problems Reserve Problem 07: Non-steady-state–Specific concentration at different T For a steel alloy it has been determined that a carburizing heat treatment of 16 h duration at 757°C will raise the carbon concentration to 0.5 wt% at a point 2.3 mm from the surface.
