How to Calculate and Solve for Permeability due to Partial Pressure | Mass Transfer
Last Updated on August 1, 2021
The image above represents permeability due to partial pressure.
To compute for permeability due to partial pressure, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Diffusion Coefficient (D), Constant (K) and Partial Pressure (Po).
The formula for calculating permeability due to partial pressure:
P = DK / √(Po)
Where:
P = Permeability due to Partial Pressure
D = Diffusion Coefficient
K = Constant
Po = Partial Pressure
Let’s solve an example;
Find the permeability due to partial pressure when the diffusion coefficient is 12, the constant is 14 and the partial pressure is 17.
This implies that;
D = Diffusion Coefficient = 12
K = Constant = 14
Po = Partial Pressure = 17
P = DK / √(Po)
P = (12)(14) / √(17)
P = 168 / 4.12
P = 40.74
Therefore, the permeability due to partial pressure is 40.74.
Calculating the Diffusion Coefficient when the Permeability due to Partial Pressure, the Constant and the Partial Pressure is Given.
D = P x √(Po) / K
Where;
D = Diffusion Coefficient
P = Permeability due to Partial Pressure
K = Constant
Po = Partial Pressure
Let’s solve an example;
Find the diffusion coefficient when the permeability due to partial pressure is 12, the constant is 8 and the partial pressure is 16.
This implies that;
P = Permeability due to Partial Pressure = 12
K = Constant = 8
Po = Partial Pressure = 16
D = P x √(Po) / K
D = 12 x √(16) / 8
D = 12 x 4 / 8
D = 48 / 8
D = 6
Therefore, the diffusion constant is 6.
Calculating the Constant when the Permeability due to Partial Pressure, the Diffusion Coefficient and the Partial Pressure is Given.
K = P x √(Po) / D
Where:
K = Constant
P = Permeability due to Partial Pressure
D = Diffusion Coefficient
Po = Partial Pressure
Let’s solve an example;
Find the constant when the permeability due to partial pressure is 20, the diffusion constant is 10 and the partial pressure is 25.
This implies that;
P = Permeability due to Partial Pressure = 20
D = Diffusion Coefficient = 10
Po = Partial Pressure = 25
K = P x √(Po) / D
K = 20 x √(25) / 10
K = 20 x 5 / 10
K = 100 / 10
K = 10
Therefore, the constant is 10.
Calculating the Partial Pressure when the Permeability due to Partial Pressure, the Diffusion Coefficient and the Constant is Given.
Po =(DK / P)2
Where:
Po = Partial Pressure
P = Permeability due to Partial Pressure
D = Diffusion Coefficient
K = Constant
Let’s solve an example;
Find the partial pressure when the permeability due to partial pressure is 15, the diffusion constant is 5 and the constant is 6.
This implies that;
P = Permeability due to Partial Pressure = 15
D = Diffusion Coefficient = 5
K = Constant = 6
Po =(DK / P)2
Po =((5)(6) / 15)2
Po =(30 / 15)2
Po =(2)2
Po = 4
Therefore, the partial pressure is 4.
