Explain the following in not more than one paragraph In the postulates proposed by Onsagar for description of diffusion in a multicomponent system, explain the following: (a) What is the importance of assuming irreversible thermodynamics applicable to the system which is not in equilibrium? (4 marks) (b) Explain mathematically, how the excess entropy generated gives rise to a way of, estimating the diffusivity coefficients D, (5 marks) (©) What is the need for the second postulate, in which a linear relationship between forces and fluxes are assumed (3 marks) (@) Is there a difference in the entropy production equation when volume flux is replaced by mass flux (3 marks) Q2. Write down a mathematical procedure to derive the concentrations and quantities in the batch multicomponent liquid-liquid equilibria between the extract and the raffinate phases, (5 marks) Q3. For a four-component mixture (Feed + Solvent), the distribution coefficient of each component (x\'"/x;") is not composition dependent, and is listed here against the mixture mass fraction of the respective components. mmponent_zi Ki 1 0.01 16.2 2 0.15 5.2 3 0.39 1.98 4 04s 0.28 If ina batch process the total weight of the mixture is 200 grams, find the weights of extract and raffinate phases, Hint: For initial estimate of y, check whether the value of fy) is close to 0, as the value of y is systematically varied within the range from 0 to | (5 marks) 04, If 1 gm of the extract from the above process is mixed with 1 gm of a separate stock of the four component mixture, referred above, find the weights of extract and raffinate phases, (5 marks)
