An " instantaneous" reaction C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g) occurs at the surface of the particle when the spherical coal particle of 0.05 in. diameter burns in air at 2500°F. If the coal consists of pure carbon of 85 lbm/ft³ density and the mass diffusivity of oxygen in the mixture is 8 ft2/hr, then calculate the time required to burn the coal completely. Given: Gas law constant R = 0.7302 ft³ atm/lbmol. R The mole fraction of oxygen in the air = 0.21
