4 - Question
For which mass transfer the area log mean is considered?
a) Through a sphere
b) Through a cylinder
c) Through a wall
d) Through a ball
View Answer
Explanation: The mass transfer through a cylinder is given by the formula 2Lab(ca1-ca2)/ ln(r2/r1).Hence log mean of the area is considered.
