A common process for increasing the moisture content of air is to bubble it through a column of water. The air bubbles are assumed to be spheres having a radius of 1.0mm, and are in thermal equilibrum with the surrounding water at 298K. The vapor pressure of water is 0.03 atm at 298K, and the total pressure of the gas inside the air bubble is 1.0 atm.

a) Draw a picture of the physical system and list at least five reasonable assumptions for the mass transfer aspects of the water evaporation process. State what coordinate system should be used.

b)What are the simplified differential forms of Fick's flux equation for water vapor (species A) and the general differential equation for mass transfer in terms of concentration cA ?

c) Propose reasonable boundary and initial conditions

Consider a power plant with water as the working fluid that operates on an ideal rankine cycle. it has a net power output of 45mw. superheated steam enters the turbine at 7mpa and 500°c (h=3411.4 kj/kg; s=6.8 kj/kg k) and is cooled in the condenser at a pressure of 10 kpa by running cooling water from a lake through the tubes of the condenser at a rate of 2000 kg/s. (a) show the cycle on a t-s diagram (a right schematic is fine - you do not need to calculate the temperatures at each point); (b)-determine the work done by the turbine and the pump in kj/kg; (c)-the mass flow rate of water used by the power plant; (d)-the thermal efficiency of the cycle; (e)-the temperature rise of the cooling water. assume the cooling water is incompressible with cp 4.18 kj/kg°c.
