PROBLEM 8.

123
KNOWN: Density and flow rate of gas through a tube with evaporation or sublimation at the tube surface. FIND: (a) Longitudinal distribution of mean vapor density, (b) Total rate of vapor transfer. SCHEMATIC:

ASSUMPTIONS: (1) Steady, incompressible flow, (2) Flow rate is independent of x, (3) Negligible chemical reactions, (4) Uniform perimeter P. ANALYSIS: (a) Applying conservation of species to a differential control volume

A,m u m Ac + dn A = A,m +

or, with

d A,m dx

dx u m Ac

& u m A c = m/ and

dn A = h m P dx A,s A,m ,

& m d A,m dx = h m P dx A,s A,m . dx

Separating variables and integrating, A,m x d A,m

(b) With A A,s A,m ,

& & n A = ( m/ ) A,m,o A,m,i = ( m/ ) A,o A,i


and from Eq. (1) with

& m

= P L h m / ln

A,o A,i

it follows that

nA = hm P L

& COMMENTS: Due to the addition of vapor, m will actually increase with x. However, if the & specific humidity of the saturated gas-vapor mixture is small (as is usually the case), the change in m will be small.
