Insulation degrades (experiences an increase in thermal
conductivity) if it is subjected to water vapor condensation.
The problem may occur in home insulation
during cold periods, when vapor in a humidified room
diffuses through the drywall (plaster board) and condenses
in the adjoining insulation. Estimate the mass
diffusion rate for a 3 m × 4 m wall, under conditions
for which the vapor pressure is 0.035 bar in the room
air and 0.0 bar in the insulation. The drywall is 15 mm
thick, and the solubility of water vapor in the wall
material is approximately 5 × 10−3 kmol/m3 ⋅ bar. The
binary diffusion coefficient for water vapor in the drywall
is approximately 10−9 m2/s.
A plate of iron is exposed to a carburizing atmosphere on one side and a decarburizing atmosphere on the other side at 850 oC. If a condition of steady state is achieved, calculate the diffusion flux of carbon through the plate if the concentrations of carbon at positions of 5 and 10 mm beneath the carburizing surface are 1.4 and 0.8 kg/m3, respectively. Assume a diffusion coefficient of 3 x 10 -11 m2/s at this temperature.
Determine the binary diffusion coefficient of H₂ in air at 600 K and 3 atm in m²/s.

A sheet of steel 1.5 mm thick has nitrogen atmospheres on both sides at 1200C 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.arrow_forward
- Gaseous hydrogen weakens the mechanical strength of cast iron. this phenomenon often occurs in cast iron pressure vessels containing 100% gas hydrogen. H2 gas dissolves in metallic iron and diffuses into solid non-porous iron by an interstitial diffusion mechanism. H2 gas does not need to penetrate far into the iron to have a negative effect on the mechanical strength of iron. In the present situation, 100% of H2 gas at 1.0 atm and 100°C is contained within a 1.0 m internal diameter and wall thickness of 2.0 cm. The solubility of hydrogen in iron in 100°C is 2.2x10-7 mol of H/g Fe atoms. The diffusion coefficient of atoms of hydrogen in solid iron is 124.0x10-9 cm2 /sec at 100°C. Initially, there are no H atoms in solid iron. How many hours will it take for the hydrogen level inside the iron metal reaches 1.76x10-7 mol H atoms/g Fe at a depth of 0.1 cm from the surface exposed to hydrogen gas?arrow_forwardWet air containing 4.0 mole% water vapor is passed through a column of calcium chloridepellets.

- The wear resistance of a steel shaft is to be improved by hardening its surface by increasing the nitrogen content within an outer surface layer as a result of nitrogen diffusion into the steel; the nitrogen is to be supplied from an external nitrogen-rich gas at an elevated and constant temperature. The initial nitrogen content of the steel is 0.0020wt%, whereas the surface concentration is to be maintained at 0.50wt%. For this application, a nitrogen content of 0.10wt% at a position 0.40 mm below the surface is desired. I. Will this process be a steady state or non-steady state process? Why? II.
