The outer surface of an steel alloy is to be hardened by increasing its carbon content. the carbon is to be supplied from an external carbon-rich atmosphere, which is maintained at an elevated temperature. a diffusion heat treatment at 826°c for 10 min increases the carbon concentration to 0.83 wt% at a position 1.3 mm below the surface. estimate the diffusion time required at 610°c to achieve this same concentration also at a 1.3 mm position. assume that the surface carbon content is the same for both heat treatments, which is maintained constant. the preexponential and activation energy values for the diffusion of carbon in the iron are 8.3 × 10-8 m2/s and 78.5 kj/mol, respectively.

Diffusion time needed for 610 degree celcius is 81.91 min

Explanation:

Given data:

Diffusion heat temperature =  826 +  273 = 1099 K

Diffusion time t_1 = 10 min

carbon concentration = 0.83%

From Fick's formula we hvae

at specific concentration

then

Dt = constant

similarly for D_2  for T_2

Diffusion time needed for 610 degree celcius is 81.91 min

answer:

science is the study of the nature and behavior of natural things and the knowledge that we obtain about them. a science is a particular branch of science such as physics, chemistry, or biology. physics is the best example of a science which has developed strong, abstract theories.

pseudoscience is a collection of beliefs or practices mistakenly regarded as being based on scientific method.
