A Species A Diffuses Radially Outwards From A Sphere Of Radius Ro The Following Assumptions Can Be Made The Mole Fract 1 (83.5 KiB) Viewed 43 times
A species A diffuses radially outwards from a sphere of radius ro. The following assumptions can be made. The mole fraction of species A at the surface of the sphere is Xao. Species A undergoes equimolar counter-diffusion with another species B. The diffusivity of A in B is denoted DAB. The total molar concentration of the system is c. The mole fraction of A at a radial distance of 10ro from the centre of the sphere is effectively zero.
(b) Would one expect to see a large change in the molar flux of A if the distance at which the mole fraction had been considered to be effectively zero were located at 100ro from the centre of the sphere instead of 10ro from the centre? Explain your reasoning. [4 marks]
