- A Spherical 1 M Diameter Liquid Holding Tank Is Open To The Atmosphere Through A 10 Cm Diameter Hole At The Top Of The 1 (39.78 KiB) Viewed 32 times
A spherical, 1-m-diameter liquid holding tank is open to the atmosphere through a 10-cm- diameter hole at the top of the sphere. Liquid acetone inside the tank evaporates and escapes out of the hole. Air flows over the hole so that the acetone vapours are immediately swept away. Liquid acetone is continually fed to the tank to maintain a constant liquid level at the midpoint of the tank, and the tank is heated to maintain the temperature at 298 K as the acetone evaporates. Develop an equation to predict the total molar rate of acetone vapor emissions from the sphere. What is the acetone emissions rate if acetone exerts a vapor pressure of 3.066 x 104 Pa at 298 K.
