3. The potential for a flow around a cylinder of radius a is given by f=ux{1+ a²/(X²+y²)} where x and y are the rectangular coordinates with the origin at the middle. Derive an expression for stream function ?.
4. A solid sphere of naphthalene (A) with a radius of 2.5 mm is surrounded by still air (B) at 300 K and 1 atm. Take the surface temperature of the naphthalene as 300°K and its vapor pressure at this temperature as 0.104 mm Hg. (The diffusivity of naphthalene in air at 318°K is 6.92 x 10^-6 m²/ sec. Determine the rate at which naphthalene evaporates.
5. Consider an incompressible liquid in a cylindrical vessel which has been undergoing constant angular motion for a time interval which is of such a duration that the liquid has assumed a fixed orientation in the vessel. Show that at steady-state, the free surface forms a paraboloidal surface given by Z — Zo = (?² / 2g) r². Assume that the viscosity of the fluid is constant.
6. Derive the equation of continuity for a binary mixture for the following case: Case: equation describes the concentration profiles in a binary diffusing system.

7. In a gas diffusion experiment chloropicrin (CCl₃NO₂) is kept in a cylindrical test tube. A gas is passed through the open end of the tube. What is the rate of evaporation (in g/hr) in air at 25°C? Total pressure = 770 mm Hg; Diffusivity = 0.088 cm²/Sec; Vapor pressure = 23.81 mm Hg; Distance from liq. Level to top of tube = 11.14 cm; Density of chloropicrin =1.65 g cm^-3; Surface area of liq. exposed to air = 2.29cm².
8. A 15 cm long copper fin of diameter 3 mm is attached to a vertical wall at 500 K and is projected in a room where air is at 300 K. The heat transfer coefficient at the fin surface is 700 W/m² K and conductivity of fin material is 450 W/m K. Calculate :

9. Two large tanks are connected by a truncated conical duct as shown in Figure 2. The variation in the diameter as a function of position is represented by D(z) = 0.006 + 0.02z. Gas compositions in the tanks are given in terms of mole percentages. The pressure and temperature throughout the system are 1 atm and 25°C, respectively, and D_AB = 3 x 10^-7 m²/s.
   1. Determine the initial molar flow rate of species A between the vessels.
   2. What would be the initial molar flow rate of species A if the conical duct were replaced with a circular tube of 8 mm diameter?
