An artificial membrane of thickness 0.1 mm separates two well-mixed fluids containing sucrose. The concentration of sucrose on side A is 10 mM and the bulk concentration on side B is 2 mM. The partition coefficient for sucrose in the membrane relative to fluid A is 0.3 and the partition coefficient for sucrose in the membrane relative to fluid B is 0.2. The diffusion coefficient of sucrose in the membrane is 3.6 x 10 ^-10 m2/s. Find the permeability of the membrane for transport from side A to side B. Would the magnitude of sucrose flux through the membrane be the same if the fluid concentrations were reversed?

Refrigerant-134a enters the compressor of a refrigerator as superheated vapor at 0.14 mpa and -10°c at a rate of 0.05 ka/s and leaves at 0.8 mpa and 50°c. the refrigerant is cooied in the condenser to 0.72 mpa and 26'c. it is then throttled to 0.15 mpa. sketch the t-s diagram for the system and evaluate: 6) the rate of heat removai from the refrigerated space (kw), it) the power input to the compressor (kw), ii) the isentropic efficiency of the compressor (%), and iv) the cop of the refrigerator.
