Answer 1

Main Answer:

1.
`\(D = 5.6 * 10^(-5)\) m²/s`

2.
`\(5.37 * 10^(-6)\) kg/s`

3. 1.11 mm

4.
`\(2.86 * 10^(-6)\) m²/s`

5.
`\(6.64 * 10^(-6)\) m²/s`

6. Your Score = X/100

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To calculate the diffusion coefficient (D) at Temperature 1, use the given formula
`\(D = D_0 * e^{(-Q_d)/(RT)}\)`, where
`\(D_0\)` is the pre-exponential factor,
`\(Q_d\)` is the activation energy, R is the gas constant, and T is the absolute temperature in Kelvin.

2. For the purification of hydrogen through a palladium sheet, use Fick's first law of diffusion
`, \(F = -D * A * (\Delta C)/(\Delta x)\)`, where F is the diffusion flux, A is the area,
`\(\Delta C\)` is the concentration difference, and
`\(\Delta x\)` is the thickness of the sheet.

3. To find how far into the steel sheet the concentration is 2.5 kg/m³, use the equation for steady-state diffusion in a linear concentration profile:
`\(x = (D * \Delta C)/(F)\)`, where x is the distance into the sheet.

4. For the diffusion coefficient of carbon in alpha-iron (BCC) at Temperature 2, use the same formula as in Problem 1, but with the given values for Temperature 2.

5. Similarly, for the diffusion coefficient of carbon in gamma-iron (FCC) at Temperature 2, apply the formula used in Problem 4 with the relevant values.
