Experiment 6: DIFFUSION OF SODIUM CHLORIDE IN WATER

OBJECTIVE

1. Study the diffusion coefficients.

2. Determination mass transfer rate without convective effects.

Recommendation
 Experiment 1 : EFFECT OF FLOW RATE IN THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SHELL & TUBE HEAT EXCHANGER

Methodology

Experiment A: Effect of Hot Water Stream

Perform the general start-up
procedure (Refer to Work
Instruction on equipment). Set the
valves arrangements asper
instructed in Table
Set the hot tank temperature at 500C. After the
temperature is constant at 500C, switch on
pumps (P1 and P2) and air cooler. Release the air
trap in shell side by opening valve HV14 .

Adjust valves HV5 to obtain the

desired flow rate for hot water and Allow the system to reach steady state
the same time fix the flowratefor cold and record all related data
water stream using valve HV15 (please
set one value of flowrate) .

Repeat steps 3 to 5 for next 4

different hot water flowrate (Hot
Water Flowrate Range: 2 – 20 LPM).

7. Shut down the equipment

Experiment B: Effect of Cold Water Stream
Perform the general start-up procedure
(Refer to Work Instruction on
equipment). ). Set the valves
arrangements as per instructed in Table 1
Adjust valves HV15 to obtain the desired
flow rate for cold water and the same time
fix HV5 forHot water (please set one value
of flowrate).
Set the hot tank temperature at 500C. After
the temperature is constant at 500C, switch
on pumps (P1 and P2) and air cooler.
Release the air trap in shell side by opening
valve HV14 if necessary.
Allow the system to reach steady state and
Record all related data.
Repeat steps 3 to 5 for next 4different cold
flow rate.(Cold Water Flow rate Range: 2 – 20
LPM) and Shut down the equipment
