Question:
A thin plastic membrane is used to separate helium from a gas stream. Under steady-state conditions the concentration of helium in the membrane is known to be 0.02 and \(0.008 \mathrm{kmol} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\) at the inner and outer surfaces, respectively. If the membrane is \(0.5 \mathrm{~mm}\) thick and the binary diffusion coefficient of helium with respect to the plastic is \(10^{-9} \mathrm{~m}^{2} / \mathrm{s}\), what is the diffusive flux?
