Consider the gas carburizing of a gear of 1020 steel at 927C°. Calculate the time in minutes needed necessary to increase the carbon content to 0.40% at 0.5 mm below the surface. Assume the carbon content at the surface is 0.90% and that the steel has a nominal carbon content of 0.20%. The diffusion coefficient of C in 1020 steel at this temperature is 1.28 x 10-11 m²/s.
Consider a given volume of liquid at a temperature ∆T below Tm with a free energy G₁, figure a. If Vs is the volume of the solid sphere, V, the volume of liquid, Asl is the solid/liquid interfacial area, GS and G are the free energies per unit volume of solid and liquid respectively, and Ysl, the solid/liquid interfacial free energy.

Obtain the analytical solution of the partial differential equation that describes the concentra- tion profile for one-dimensional unsteady-state diffusion by the separation of variables technique.
A. A reactant A diffuses to a surface, at which a reaction occurs according to the following stoichiometry: A(g) → B(g) + C(g). Under what conditions can we ignore the convective flux of A? a. We cannot, because 2 moles of product gas (B+C) diffuse away from the surface for every 1 mole of reactant (4) that diffuses to the surface. b. If the medium above the surface is quiescent and the concentration of A is dilute throughout the medium. c. If the medium above the surface is quiescent and the concentration of both B and C are dilute throughout the medium. B. Why does convection not occur at a solid boundary? a. No slip in normal direction and no penetration in the tangential direction. b. No slip in tangential direction and no penetration in the normal direction. c. Because the reactant becomes trapped in the pores of the surface and cannot pass through. d. Both (b) and (c) are correct.
A. For 1-D steady-state diffusion in the z-direction, in which one molecule of A has a flux that is equal and opposite to one molecule of B, draw (A) a plot of concentration versus z-distance with curves for both CA and CB, and (B) a plot of partial pressure versus z-distance with curves for both PA and PB. B. In your own words, describe some key indicators that a mass-transfer situation should be analyzed as pseudo-steady state diffusion (as opposed to steady or unsteady-state diffusion).

A liquid mixture (100 gmol/s) of 40 mol% n-hexane/60 mol% n-heptane at 10 atm pressure and 25°C is sent through an expansion valve, where the pressure drops to 1 atm, and into a flash tank, which is heated. Vapor and liquid are separated in the tank and leave at 1 atm and 85°C. Calculate the compositions and flow rates of the vapor and liquid streams leaving the tank. Calculate the amount of heat (kJ/s) added to the tank.
