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

& 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.
