Vanadium melts at 1720oC. The activity coefficient of vanadiumat infinite dilution in liquid iron at 1620oC is 0.069 w. r.t. the Raoultian standard state. Calculate the free energy change accompanying the transfer of standard state from pure solid vanadium to the infinitely dilute wt% solution of V in pure ironat 1620oC. Given: heat of fusion of V = 4800 cal/g atom; MFe= 55.85 and MV= 50.95.

A3-mm-thick panel of aluminum alloy (k 177 w/m-k, c 875 j/kg-k and ? = 2770 kg/m) is finished on both sides with an epoxy coating that must be cured at or above t,-150°c for at least 5 min. the production line for the curing operation involves two steps: (1) heating in a large oven with air at ts,0-175°c and a convection coefficient of h, 40 w/m2. k, and (2) cooling in a large chamber with air at 25°c and a con- vection coefficient of he 10 w/m2.k. the heating portion of the process is conducted over a time interval te which exceeds the ime required to reach 150°c by 5 min (h = r + 300 s). the coating has an emissivity of ? = 0.8, and the temperatures of the oven and chamber walls are 175 and 25°c, respectively. if the panel is placed in the oven at an initial temperature of 25°c and removed from the chamber at a safe-to-touch tempera ture of 37°c, what is the total elapsed time for the two-step curing operation?
