Question: 1 - 2 . Hydrogen at 1 . 0 MPa is to be stored at 4 0 0 C in outer space, in a thin

1-2. Hydrogen at 1.0 MPa is to be stored at 400C in outer space, in a thin walled (0.1mm) spherical iron tank of 0.1 m radius. You are to calculate the rate of pressure drop (MPas) as a result of diffusion of hydrogen through the wall.
Take D=10-8m2s, and assume that the concentration of hydrogen in the iron at either side of the wall is the equilibrium solubility given by the equation
C(P)=10-5(P)12gmHgmFe,(Pin MPa ).
J~=-Dcr,Fe=7.874g*cm-3
