Species A diffuses into a cylindrical pore where it reacts at the cylindrical surface to produce B ( A - - > B ) according

Species A diffuses into a cylindrical pore where it reacts at the cylindrical surface to produce B (A -->B) according to a zero order reaction rA(mol/cm2s)= k1 where k1=1.2times 10-6 mol/cm2s. There is no reaction at the end of the pore and the end is impermeable to A. The inside diameter of the pore is 0.1 cm and its length L =1.0 cm. You can assume CA(z) is a function of z where z is the distance along the pore with z =0 at the entrance to the pore. The diffusivity of A in the pore is DAB =0.06 cm2/s and CA(z =0)= CA0=2.5times 10-3 mol/cm3. The inside pore diameter is D.
a) Determine the consumption rate of A within the pore in mol/s.
b) Determine the molar flux of A at z =0.2 cm in mol/scm2
