As shown in the figure below, air flows in parallel to a freshly painted solid surface of width 10 m, along the z-direction
The equilibrium vapor concentration of the volatile component A in the paint, at the air-paint interface, is CA,i. The concentration CA decreases linearly from this value to zero along the y-direction over a distance δ of 0.1 m in the air phase. Over this distance, the average velocity of the air stream is 0.033 m s-1 and its velocity profile (in m s-1) is given by vz(y)=10y2 where y is in meter.
Let CA,m represent the flow averaged concentration. The ratio of CA,m to CA,i, is _______ (round off to 2 decimal places).

Correct : 0.25
