Question: Problem: When alpha - iron is subjected to an atmosphere of hydrogen gas, the concentration of hydrogen in the iron, C H ( in weight

Problem: When alpha-iron is subjected to an atmosphere of hydrogen gas, the concentration of hydrogen in the iron, CH(in weight percent), is a function of hydrogen
pressure, PH2(in Mpa), and asbsolute temperature ( T ) according to
CH=1.3410-2PH22exp(-27.2KJmolRT)
Consider a thin iron membrane with the thickness and temperature listed below. Calculate the flux in (kgm2-s) through this membrane if the hydrogen pressure on
one side of the membrane is 0.17 MPa , and on the other side it is 6.1 MPa , utilizing the densities provided by your examination booklet. Assume the values for D0 is
4.910-7m2s and Qd is 13.4KJmol.
--Given Values--
Membrane Thickness (mm)=4.0
Temperature in Celsius =309
