Question

) Hydrogen gas is highly combustible, and leakage can lead to a catastrophic explosion. The concentration of hydrogen gas in the furnace is held constant at 6.022 x 1023 atoms/m3 and is effectively 0 outside the furnace. Calculate the mass flow rate (mg/hr) of hydrogen from the furnace if the diffusivity of hydrogen through the glass is 2 x 10-5 m2 /s. You may assume steady state behavior and constant diffusivity. You may assume that diffusion only occurs through the glass. The molar mass of hydrogen can be taken as 2 g/mol
