Preview 4 out of 772 pages

This document provides detailed solutions to the end-of-chapter problems from Transport Phenomena, Revised 2nd Edition by Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot. It covers key topics including momentum transfer, heat transfer, and mass transfer, with step-by-step calculations and explanations to help students understand the underlying transport principles. The solutions are designed to support chemical engineering and related engineering students in mastering complex derivations, equations, and problem-solving techniques. It is an ideal study companion for homework verification, exam preparation, and deeper conceptual understanding of transport processes.

,1A.1 Estimation of dense-gas viscosity.

a. Table E.1 gives T, = 126.2 K, p = 33.5 atm, and = 180x 10° g/cm·s
for N. The reduced conditions for the viscosity estimation are then:
+ 14.7)/33.5 x 14.7 = 2.06
P+ =P/Pe = (1000
T, =T/T. =(273.15 + (68 -32)/1.8)/126.2 = 2.32
At this reduced state, Fig. 1.3-1 gives , = 1.15. Hence, the predicted viscosity
is = ,/, = 1.15180x10° = 2.0710 g/cm·s. This result is then converted
into the requested units by use of Table F.3-4:

,1A.2 Estimation of the viscosity of methyl fluoride.

a. CH%F has M = 16.04--1.008+19.00 = 34.03 g/g-mole, T, = 4.55+273.15 =
277.70 K, p = 58.0 atm, and V, = 34.03/0.300 = 113.4 cm/g-mole. The critical
viscosity is then estimated as

, = 61.6(34.03 x 277.70)/(113.4) 2/ 255.6 micropoise

from Eq. 1.3-1a, and

, = 7.70(34.03)/(58.0)/(277.7) -/° 263.5 micropoise
from Eq. 1.3-1b.
The reduced conditions for the viscosity estimate are T, = (370 4273.15)/277.70 =
2.32, p, = 120/58.0 = 2.07, and the predicted , from Fig. 1.3-1 is 1.1. The
resulting predicted viscosity is

=r=1.1 x 255.6 x 10° =2.8 x 10 g/cm·s via Eq.1.3-1a, or
1.1 263.5 x 10° = 2.9 10g/cm·s via E.1.3-1b.

, lA.3 Computation of the viscosities of gases at low density.

Equation 1.4-14, with molecular parameters from Table E.1 and collision integrals
from Table E.2, gives the following results:
For O: M = 32.00, o = 3.433A,0
e/K = 113 K. Then at 20°C, Te =


293.15/113 = 2.594 and 9, = 1.086. Equation 1.4-14 then gives

= 2.6693 x 10-s V32.00 293.15
(3.433) 1.086
=2.02 x 10 g/cm·s
=2.02 10 Pas
= 2.02 x 10 mPas.

The reported value in Table 1.1-3 is 2.04 x 10 mPa.s.

For N: M = 28.01, o = 3.667~, e/K = 99.8 K. Then at 20°C, T/e =
293.15/99.8 = 2.937 and 9, = 1.0447. Equation 1.4-14 then gives

= 2.6693 10-s V28.01 293.15
(3.667 1.0447
= 1.72x 10 g/cm·s
= 1.72 10 Pas
= 1.72 10 mPas.

The reported value in Table 1.1-3 is 1.75 x 10 mPass.

For CH,, M = 16.04, o = 3.780A, e/K = 154 K. Then at 20°C, T/e =
293.15/154 = 1.904 and 9, = 1.197. Equation 1.4-14 then gives

= 2.6693 10-s VI6.04 293.15
(3.780) x 1.197
= 1.07 10 g/cm·s
= 1.07 x 10 Pa.s
= 1.07 x 10 mPass.

The reported value in Table 1.1-3 is 1.09 x 10 mPass.
