1. How separation of components takes places in membrane

2. How does mass transfer coefficient vary with diffusivity according to film theory and
penetration theory?
3. Equimolar counter-diffusion of A and B occurs between points 1 (yA1=0.3) and 2
(yA2=0.1) through a distance of 1 cm. Total pressure is 1 atm, temperature is 250°C and
diffusivity is 0.2 cm2 /s. What is the “diffusion velocity” of A‟ halfway in the diffusion
path?
4. How does the liquid-phase diffusivity of a solute depend upon the temperature and
viscosity of the medium?
5. Why overall mass transfer coefficient is considered in many practical mass transfer
operations?
