Molecular diffusion in a bounded medium [12 pts]

An instantaneous point of strength M is located at the position (0, 0, h)

above a horizontal plane (z = 0) that forms a reflective boundary. With a

uniform advective velocity field (U, 0, 0) and molecular diffusivity D, (1)

determine the solution for the resulting concentration distribution, and (2)

by differentiation normal to the boundary show that the normal diffusive

flux is indeed zero. [2 pts each]

Assuming an additional horizontal boundary, that behaves as a perfect

absorber for the substance under consideration, is located at z = H (where

H>h), determine the solution. [3 pts]

= D assuming homogeneity in the x-y plane. Assume the tube has a

əz²

length of 100 cm and there is an injection of mass in the middle of the tube

(z=50 cm) of 10 g. Assume D is 0.001 m²/s and diameter of the tube is 10

cm. Perform 2 simulations with 2 different boundary conditions at z=0 cm

and z=100 cm: (1) a concentration of zero, and (2) a no flux boundary

condition. Use the numerical approach with a grid spacing of 5 cm to solve

for the vertical distribution of mass after 60 s (i.e., plot C vs z at t=60 s) for

(1) and (2). Choose your time step based on this criterion: At < 0.44² [5

5. Transient behavior of a stirred tank-E. The well-stirred tank of volume V = 2 m3 shown in Fig. P2.5 is initially filled with brine, in which the initial concentration of sodium chloride at t = 0 is co = 1 kg/m³. Subsequently, a flow rate of Q =0.01 m /s of pure water is fed steadily to the tank, and the same flow rate of brine leaves the tank through a drain. Derive an expression for the subsequent concentration of sodium chloride c in terms of co, t, Q, and V. Make a sketch of c versus t and label the main features. How long (minutes and seconds)will it take for the concentration of sodium chloride to fall to a final value of Cf = 0.0001 kg/m³?

In polymer extrusion processes, a viscous polymer of viscosity u is forced to flowsteadily from left to right (distance L) in the annular area between two fixedconcentric cylinders by applying a pressure difference Pout - Pin. The inner cylinderis solid, whereas the outer one is hollow; their radii are R1 and R2, respectively.The problem, which could occur in the extrusion of plastic tubes, is to find thevelocity profile in the annular space and the total volumetric flow rate Q. Note thatcylindrical coordinates are now involved.

A continuous belt passes upward through a chemical bath at velocity Vo and picks up a film of liquid of thickness h, density p, and viscosity μ. Gravity tends to make the liquid drain down, butthe movement of the belt keeps the fluid from running off completely. Assume that the flow is a well-developed laminar flow with zero pressure gradient, and that the atmosphere produces no shear at the outer surface of the film. Use the shell-balance approach to (1) derive the governing differential equations. (2) State the boundary conditions for the systems. (3) Determine the velocity profile. Clearly list any assumptions needed. [DO NOT sketch the velocity profile.]
