14-1C Examples of different kinds of diffusion processes:
(a) Liquid-to-gas: A gallon of gasoline left in an open area will eventually evaporate and diffuse into air.
14-2C (a) Temperature difference is the driving force for heat transfer, (b) voltage difference is the driving force for electric
current flow, and (c) concentration difference is the driving force for mass transfer.
14-3C The concentration of a commodity is defined as the amount of that commodity per unit volume. The concentration
gradient dC/dx is defined as the change in the concentration C of a commodity per unit length in the direction of flow x. The
14-4C (a) Homogenous reactions in mass transfer represent the generation of a species within the medium. Such reactions
are analogous to internal heat generation in heat transfer. (b) Heterogeneous reactions in mass transfer represent the
generation of a species at the surface as a result of chemical reactions occurring at the surface. Such reactions are analogous
14-6C Bulk fluid flow refers to the transportation of a fluid on a macroscopic level from one location to another in a flow
section by a mover such as a fan or a pump. Mass flow requires the presence of two regions at different chemical

air dissolved in the water are to be determined.
Assumptions 1 Both the air and water vapor are ideal gases. 2 Air is saturated since water is constantly sprayed into it. 3 Air
is weakly soluble in water and thus Henry’s law is applicable.
