This question is incomplete, the complete question is;
For a steel alloy it has been determined that a carburizing heat treatment of 11.3 h duration at Temperature T1 will raise the carbon concentration to 0.44 wt% at a point 1.8 mm from the surface. A separate experiment is performed at T2 that doubles the diffusion coefficient for carbon in steel.
Estimate the time necessary to achieve the same concentration at a 4.9 mm position for an identical steel and at the same carburizing temperature T2.
Answer:
the required time to achieve the same concentration at a 4.9 is 83.733 hrs
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
treatment time t₁ = 11.3 hours
Carbon concentration = 0.444 wt%
thickness at surface x₁ = 1.8 mm = 0.0018 m
thickness at identical steel x₂ = 4.9 mm = 0.0049 m
Now, Using Fick's second law inform of diffusion
/ Dt = constant
where D is constant
then
/ t = constant
/ t₁ =
/ t₂
t₂ = t₁
t₂ = t₁ /
t₂ = ( /
)t₁
t₂ =
/
× t₁
so we substitute
t₂ = 0.0049 / 0.0018
× 11.3 hrs
t₂ = 7.41 × 11.3 hrs
t₂ = 83.733 hrs
Therefore, the required time to achieve the same concentration at a 4.9 is 83.733 hrs
Answer Explanation:
the efficiency of the the engine is given by=1-
where T₂= lower temperature
T₁= Higher temperature
we have given efficiency =70%
lower temperature T₂=27°C=273+27=300K
higher temperature T₁=627°C=273+627=900K
efficiency=1-
=1-
=1-0.3333
=0.6666
=66%
66% is less than 70% so so inventor claim is wrong
