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?

Water in a partially filled large tank is to be supplied to the roof top, which is 8 m above the water level in the tank, through a 2.2-cm-internal-diameter pipe by maintaining a constant air pressure of 300 kpa (gage) in the tank. if the head loss in the piping is 2 m of water, determine the discharge rate of the supply of water to the roof top in liters per second.
