2026Mass TransferMolecular Diffusion in GasesmediumNAT1 Mark
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 (pAp_A) as a function of axial distance zz is linear. The partial pressure of component B (pBp_B) approaches zero at z=0.8 mz = 0.8 \text{ m}. At a location z=z1z = z_1 the partial pressures of the components A and B are equal. If the partial pressure of A at z=0z = 0 is pA0p_{A0} and at z=0.8 mz = 0.8 \text{ m} is 00, the value of z1z_1 (in m) is _____ (rounded off to two decimal places).
