A spherical piece of candy is suspended in flowing water. The candy has a density of 1950 kg/m3 and has a 1.0 cm diameter. The water velocity is 1.0 m/s, the water density is assumed to be 1000.0 kg/m3, and the water viscosity is 1.010-3 kg/m/s. The diffusion coefficient of the candy solute in water is

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

A spherical piece of candy is suspended in flowing water. The candy has a density of 1950 kg/m3 and has a 1.0 cm diameter. The water velocity is 1.0 m/s, the water density is assumed to be 1000.0 kg/m3, and the water viscosity is 1.0x10-3 kg/m/s. The diffusion coefficient of the candy solute in water is 2.0x10-9 m2/s, and the solubility of the candy solute in water is 2.0 kg/m3. Calculate the mass transfer coefficient (m/s) and the dissolution rate (kg/s).

Solution :

From flow over sphere, the mass transfer equation can be written as :

where, Sherood number,

            Reynolds number,

            Schmid number,

So,

Diameter, d = 1 cm = m

                 V = 1 m/s

m/s

So the mass transfer coefficient is 9.5644 m/s. It is given solubility,

kg/s (dissolution rate)

beta is electron from nucleus

something from nucleus has changed, but charge must be same for cons of charge
