Question
When a-iron is subjected to an atmosphere of hydrogen gas, the concentration of hydrogen in the iron, CH (in weight percent), is a
function of hydrogen pressure, PH, (in MPa), and absolute temperature (T) according to
27.2 kJ/mol
CH = 1.34 × 10-2
VPH, exp|
RT
Furthermore, the values of Do and Qa for this diffusion system are 4.8 × 107 m²/s and 15 kJ/mol, respectively. Consider a thin iron
membrane 2.5-mm thick that is at 319°C. Calculate the diffusion flux [in kg/(m2-s)] through this membrane if the hydrogen pressure on
one side of the membrane is 0.14 MPa, and on the other side 7.4 MPa, given that the density of iron is 7.87 g/cm³.
