The image above represents permeation. To calculate permeation, six essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Length of Vessel (L), Diameter (D), Initial Concentration (c1), Final Concentration (c2), Inlet Radius of Pipe (r1)Â and Exit Radius of Pipe (r2).
The formula for calculating permeation:
j = -2Ï€LD (c1Â – c2Â /Â In(r1/r2))
Where:
j = Permeation
L = Length of Vessel
D = Diameter
c1Â = Initial Concentration
c2Â = Final Concentration
r1Â = Inlet Radius of Pipe
r2Â = Exit Radius of Pipe
Let’s solve an example;
Find the permeation when the length of vessel is 8, the diameter is 2, the initial concentration is 4, the final concentration is 9, the inlet radius of pipe is 13 and the exit radius of pipe is 11.
This implies that;
L = Length of Vessel = 8
D = Diameter = 2
c1 = Initial Concentration = 4
c2 = Final Concentration = 9
r1 = Inlet Radius of Pipe = 13
r2 = Exit Radius of Pipe = 11
j = -2Ï€LD (c1Â – c2Â /Â In(r1/r2))
So, j = -2Ï€(8)(2) (4 – 9/In(13/11))
j = (-100.53) (-5/In(1.18))
j = (-100.53) (-5/0.167)
Then, j = (-100.53) (-29.93)
j = 3008.9
Therefore, the permeation is 3008.9 m².
