Extracted text: Problem 1: Helium gas is seperated from other components of a gas mixture by its selective diffusion through the wall of a Pyrex glass tube. Under steady-state conditions, the partial pressures of helium at the inner and outer surfaces of the Pyrex tube are 1.5 and 1.0 bar, respectively. If the wall thickness of the Pyrex tubing is 3 mm, determine P-1 a. the flux of He through a tube having an inside diameter of 1.0 cm; b. the concentration profile, ca(r), of helium within the wall. Problem 2: P-2 Ethanol is diffusing through a 4-mm stagnant film of water. The ethanol concentrations of the entrance and the existing planes are maintained at 0.1 and 0.02 mol/m³, respec- tively. If the water film temperature is 283 K, determine the steady-state molar flux of the ethanol and the concentration profile as a function of the position z within the liquid film. Compare these results with a 4-mm stagnant film of air at 283 K and 1 atm at the same entrance and exit ethanol concentrations.
