6.6 Compute the number of kilograms of hydrogen that pass per hour through a

5-mm thick sheet of palladium having an area of 0.20 m2 at 500℃. Assume a diffusion coefficient of 1.0×10- 8 m2/s, that the concentrations at the high- and low-pressure sides of the plate are 2.4 and 0.6 kg of hydrogen per cubic meter of palladium, and that steady-state conditions have been attained.

6.7 A sheet of steel 1.5 mm thick has nitrogen atmospheres on both sides at 1200℃

and is permitted to achieve a steady-state diffusion condition. The diffusion coefficient for nitrogen in steel at this temperature is 6×10-11 m2/s, and the diffusion flux is found to be 1.2×10- 7 kg/m2-s. Also, it is known that the concentration of nitrogen in the steel at the high-pressure surface is 4 kg/m3. How far into the sheet from this high-pressure side will the concentration be 2.0 kg/m3? Assume a linear concentration profile.

6.24. Carbon is allowed to diffuse through a steel plate 15 mm thick. The

concentrations of carbon at the two faces are 0.65 and 0.30 kg C/m3 Fe, which are maintained constant. If the preexponential and activation energy are 6.2 _ 10_7 m2/s and 80,000 J/mol, respectively, compute the temperature at which the diffusion flux is 1.43 _ 10_9 kg/m2-s.

6.25 The steady-state diffusion flux through a metal plate is 5.4_10_10 kg/m2-s at a

temperature of 727_C (1000 K) and when the concentration gradient is _350 kg/m4. Calculate the diffusion flux at 1027_C (1300 K) for the same concentration gradient and assuming an activation energy for diffusion of 125,000 J/mol.
