A sheet of BCC iron 1.1-mm thick was exposed to a carburizing atmosphere on one side and a decarburizing atmosphere on the other side at 725°C. After having reached steady state, the iron was quickly cooled to room temperature. The carbon concentrations at the two surfaces were determined to be 0.012 and 0.0075 wt%. Calculate the diffusion coefficient if the diffusion flux is 3.9 × 10-8 kg/m2-s, given that the densities of carbon and iron are 2.25 and 7.87 g/cm3, respectively.

Steel is coated with a thin layer of ceramic to protect against corrosion. what do you expect to happen to the coating when the temperature of the steel is increased significantly? explain.

For the closed feedwater heater below, feedwater enters state 3 at a pressure of 2000 psia and temperature of 420 °f at a rate of ix10 ibhr. the feedwat extracted steam enters state 1 at a pressure of 1000 psia and enthalpy of 1500 btu/lbm. the extracted er leaves at an enthalpy of 528.7 btu/lbm steam leaves as a saturated liquid. (16) a) determine the mass flow rate of the extraction steam used to heat the feedwater (10) b) determine the terminal temperature difference of the closed feedwater heater

The drive force for diffusion is 7 fick's first law can be used to solve the non-steady state diffusion. a)-true b)-false
