An “empty” steel barrel with its lid off has some gasoline remaining in the bottom, as shown. If the vapor pressure is 1 psia, estimate the evaporation rate of the gasoline and its vapor pressure half-way up in the barrel. Assume the mass diffusivity of gasoline into air is 0.0094 ft^2/s and assume that the vapor pressure of the gasoline is zero at the top.
