Section 17.2 Example of Mass Diffusivity at Low Density: Ar & O2 > restart; > eq := p*DAB/((pcA*pcB)^(1/3)*(TcA*TcB)^(5/12)*(1/MA+1/MB)^(1/2))=a*(T/sqrt(TcA*TcB))^b; eq 17.2-1
> MA:= 39.94*g/mol: TcA:=151.2*K: pcA:=48*atm: properties of argon > MB:= 32.00*g/mol: TcB:=154.4*K: pcB:=49.7*atm: properties of oxygen > T:= 293.2*K: p:=1*atm: temp and pressure > a:=2.745e-4: b:=1.823: constants for the nonpolar pair > DABu:=simplify(solve(eq,DAB),assume=positive); solve for DAB and tell Maple how to simplify the result.
> DAB:=.1886791089*cm^2/s; The same numeric value but the correct units. > aun:=DAB/DABu;
> a:=a*aun;
> DAB:='DAB'; > simplify(solve(eq,DAB),assume=positive);
