A mixture of 60% hydrogen and 40% oxygen is blowing over a pan of water at 1atm pressure. The bulk gas temperature is 30°c and the water temperature is 20°C. The vapor pressure of water at this temperature is 17.53mm Hg. The concentration of moisture in the bulk gas is negligible and the diffusivity values are DO2-H2O=0.357cm2/s,DH2-H2O=0.972cm2/s at 34°C and DH2-O2=0.891cm2/s at 43°C.
