For flow inside tubes at constant volumetric flow rates ( Q , the mass transfer rate of a component A ( either from the fluid

For flow inside tubes at constant volumetric flow rates(Q, the mass transfer rate of a component A (either from the fluid stream to the tube inside surface or from the tube inside surface to the fluid stream) can be calculated using the following relations:
Q(CA,out-CA,in)=NAS=Skcubrace((CAi-CA,in)-(CAi-CA,out)ln(CAi-CA,inCAi-CA,out)ubrace)?=(CAi-CA)mean where the final term is the log mean driving force at the inlet and outlet of the tube, CA| :
concentration of A at the inside surface of the tube, CA,in : concentration of A in the inlet fluid stream,
CA,out : concentration of A in the outlet fluid stream, and S : the inside surface area of the tube through which component A is transported.
a) Derive this relation starting from a steady state component mass balance over a differential
element on the tube as given below.
NAdS=kc(CAi-CA)dS=QdCA
Q: volumetric flow rate of the fluid,m3s
b) Benzene-free air at 25C and 101.3kPa enters a 5-cm-diameter tube at an average velocity of
5ms. The inner surface of the 6-m-long tube is coated with a thin film of pure benzene at 25C. The vapor pressure of benzene (C6H6) at 25C is 13kPa, and the solubility of air in benzene is assumed to be negligible. Calculate the molar concentration of benzene in the
outlet air, and the evaporation rate of benzene in kgh given that the diffusivity of benzene in air at 25C is 0.88**10-5m2s.( Can you solve it according to mass transfer and writing assumption? )
