How to Calculate and Solve for Knudsen Diffusion of Moulding Sand | Mass Transfer
Last Updated on August 1, 2021
The image above represents knudsen diffusion of moulding sand.
To compute for knudsen diffusion of moulding sand, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Pore Radius (r), Temperature (T) and Molecular Weight (M).
The formula for calculating knudsen diffusion of moulding sand:
Dk = 9700r√(T/M)
Where:
Dk = Knudsen Diffusion of Moulding Sand
r = Pore Radius
T = Temperature
M = Molecular Weight
Let’s solve an example;
Find the knudsen diffusion of moulding sand when the pore radius is 24, the temperature is 18 and the molecular weight is 12.
This implies that;
r = Pore Radius = 24
T = Temperature = 18
M = Molecular Weight = 12
Dk = 9700r√(T/M)
Dk = 9700(24)√(18/12)
Dk = 9700(24)√(1.5)
Dk = 9700(24)(1.22)
Dk = 285120.6
Therefore, the knudsen diffusion of moulding sand is 285120.6 cm²/s.
Calculating the Pore Radius when the Knudsen Diffusion of Moulding Sand, the Temperature and the Molecular Weight is Given.
r = Dk / 9700 √(T / M)
Where:
r = Pore Radius
Dk = Knudsen Diffusion of Moulding Sand
T = Temperature
M = Molecular Weight
Let’s solve an example;
Find the pore radius when the knudsen diffusion of moulding sand is 20, the temperature is 14 and the molecular weight is 10.
This implies that;
Dk = Knudsen Diffusion of Moulding Sand = 20
T = Temperature = 14
M = Molecular Weight = 10
r = Dk / 9700 √(T / M)
r = 20 / 9700 √(14 / 10)
r = 20 / 9700 √(1.4)
r = 20 / 11446
r = 0.00174
Therefore, the pore radius is 0.00174.
Calculating the Temperature when the Knudsen Diffusion of Moulding Sand, the Pore Radius and the Molecular Weight is Given.
T = M x (Dk / 9700r)2
Where:
T = Temperature
Dk = Knudsen Diffusion of Moulding Sand
r = Pore Radius
M = Molecular Weight
Let’s solve an example;
Find the temperature when the knudsen diffusion of moulding sand is 2700, the pore radius is 6 and the molecular weight is 14.
This implies that;
Dk = Knudsen Diffusion of Moulding Sand = 2700
r = Pore Radius = 6
M = Molecular Weight = 14
T = M x (Dk / 9700r)2
T = 14 x (2700 / 9700(6))2
T = 14 x (2700 / 58200)2
T = 14 x (0.046)2
T = 14 x 0.002116
T = 0.0296
Therefore, the temperature is 0.0296 s.
Calculating the Molecular Weight when the Knudsen Diffusion of Moulding Sand, the Temperature and the Pore Radius is Given.
M = T / (Dk / 9700r)2
Where:
M = Molecular Weight
Dk = Knudsen Diffusion of Moulding Sand
r = Pore Radius
T = Temperature
Let’s solve an example;
Find the molecular weight when the knudsen diffusion of moulding sand is 3000, the pore radius is 8 and the temperature is 4.
This implies that;
Dk = Knudsen Diffusion of Moulding Sand = 3000
r = Pore Radius = 8
T = Temperature = 4
M = T / (Dk / 9700r)2
M = 4 / (3000 / 9700(8))2
M = 4 / (3000 / 77600)2
M = 4 / 0.00148
M = 2702.7
Therefore, the molecular weight is 2702.7 cm.
