Consider a non-reactive binary mixture of two ideal gases A and B in an isothermal horizontal closed tube. Due to the concentration difference at the two ends of the tube, equimolal counterdiffusion occurs along the axial direction. No concentration gradients exist in the radial direction. The profile for partial pressure of component A () as a function of axial distance is linear. The partial pressure of component B () approaches zero at . At a location the partial pressures of the components A and B are equal. If the partial pressure of A at is and at is , the value of (in m) is _____ (rounded off to two decimal places).
