An FCC iron-carbon alloy initially containing 0.20 wt% C is carburized at an elevated temperature and in an atmosphere wherein t

he surface carbon concentration is maintained at 1.0 wt%.
If after 50 h the concentration of carbon is 0.35 wt% at a position 3.5 mm below the surface, determine the temperature at which the treatment was carried out.

Answer:

the  temperature T at which the treatment is carried is out is  1274.24 K

Explanation:

Fick's second Law posits that the rate of change of concentration of diffusing species is directly proportional to the second derivative of the concentration.

Using the expression of the Fick's second Law:

\mathbf{\frac{C_x-C_o}{C_s-C_o} = 1- erf(\frac{x}{2\sqrt{Dt} })}

where;

C_o = initial concentration

C_x = the depth of the concentration

C_s = surface concentration

erf(\frac{x}{2\sqrt{Dt} })} = Gaussian error function.

Let variable z be used for the expression of the Gaussian error function.  erf(\frac{x}{2\sqrt{Dt} })}

Then, from the above equation:  replacing C_x with 0.35 ; C_o  with 0.2 and C_s  with 1.0; we have:

\mathbf{\frac{0.35-0.2}{1.0-0.2} = 1- erf( z)}

erf (z) = 0.8125

we obtain the error function value close to 0.8125 from the error function table and we did the  interpolation to obtain the exact value of variable  corresponding to 0.8125.

The table below shows the tabular form of the error function value close to 0.8125 .

Value for z                                                   Value for erf (z)

0.9                                                                0.797

z                                                                    0.8125

0.950                                                            0.8209  

From above; we can find  the value of variable  corresponding to the error function 0.8125 .

i.e

\frac{z-0.9}{0.95-0.9} =\frac{0.8125-0.797}{0.8209-0.797}

z = 0.932

However, the temperature dependence relation for the diffusion coefficient D can be expressed as:

z = \frac{x}{\sqrt{Dt} }

where;

z = 0.932

x = 3.5 mm = 0.0035 m

t = 50 h = 180000 sec

0.932 = \frac{0.35}{2\sqrt{D*180000} }

D = 1.958*10^{-11} m^2/s

Finally, the temperature T at which the treatment is carried is out is calculated as:

\mathbf{D=D_o \ exp \ (-\frac{Q_d}{RT}) }

From the table ‘Diffusion data’, we  obtain the values of temperature-independent pre exponential and activation energy for diffusion of carbon in FCC Fe.

D_o = 2.3*10^{-5} \ m^2/s

Q_d = 148, 000 \ J/mol

Replacing all values needed for the above equation; we have:

1.958*10^{-11}= (2.3*10^{-5})exp(\frac{-148,000}{(8.31)T})

8.51*10^{-7}=exp(\frac{-17,810}{T})

In(8.51*10^{-7})=(\frac{-17,810}{T})

-13.977 = -17,810/T

T = -17,810/ - 13.977

T = 1274.24 K

Hence, the  temperature T at which the treatment is carried is out is  1274.24 K

A 15.00 mL sample of a solution of H2SO4 of unknown concentration was titrated with 0.3200M NaOH. the titration required 21.30 m
natima [27]

Answer:

a. 0.4544 N

b. 5.112 \times 10^{-5 M}

Explanation:

For computing the normality and molarity of the acid solution first we need to do the following calculations

The balanced reaction

H_2SO_4 + 2NaOH = Na_2SO_4 + 2H_2O

NaOH\ Mass = Normality \times equivalent\ weight \times\ volume

= 0.3200 \times 40 g \times 21.30 mL \times  1L/1000mL

= 0.27264 g

NaOH\ mass = \frac{mass}{molecular\ weight}

= \frac{0.27264\ g}{40g/mol}

= 0.006816 mol

Now

Moles of H_2SO_4 needed  is

= \frac{0.006816}{2}

= 0.003408 mol

Mass\ of\ H_2SO_4 = moles \times molecular\ weight

= 0.003408\ mol \times 98g/mol

= 0.333984 g

Now based on the above calculation

a. Normality of acid is

= \frac{acid\ mass}{equivalent\ weight \times volume}

= \frac{0.333984 g}{49 \times 0.015}

= 0.4544 N

b. And, the acid solution molarity is

= \frac{moles}{Volume}

= \frac{0.003408 mol}{15\ mL \times  1L/1000\ mL}

= 0.00005112

=5.112 \times 10^{-5 M}

We simply applied the above formulas

2. A well of 0.1 m radius is installed in the aquifer of the preceding exercise and is pumped at a rate averaging 80 liter/min.
hodyreva [135]

Question:

The question is not complete. See the complete question and the answer below.

A well that pumps at a constant rate of 0.5m3/s fully penetrates a confined aquifer of 34 m thickness. After a long period of pumping, near steady state conditions, the measured drawdowns at two observation wells 50m and 100m from the pumping well are 0.9 and 0.4 m respectively. (a) Calculate the hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity of the aquifer (b) estimate the radius of influence of the pumping well, and (c) calculate the expected drawdown in the pumping well if the radius of the well is 0.4m.

Answer:

T = 0.11029m²/sec

Radius of influence = 93.304m

expected drawdown = 3.9336m

Explanation:

See the attached file for the explanation.

Identify and describe the three stages of a life cycle analysis.
sesenic [268]
The LCA process is a systematic, phased approach and consists of four components: goal definition and scoping, inventory analysis, impact assessment, and interpretation. The standards are provided by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) in ISO 14040 and 14044, and describe the four main phases of an LCA: Goal and scope definition. Inventory analysis. Impact assessment.

Foundation dampproofing is most commonly installed: Select one: a. on both the inside and outside of the basement wall b. Baseme
puteri [66]

Answer:A

Explanation:

Damp roof is generally applied at basement level which restrict the movement of moisture through walls and floors. Therefore it could be inside or the outside basement walls.
