Diffusion coefficient (D) describes rate at which atoms/molecules move through material; temperature-dependent (Arrhenius).

ସୂତ୍ର

Calculate D = D₀ exp(-Ea/kT)
D
D₀ exp(-Ea/kT) — D₀ exp(-Ea/kT)
Ea
Ea value — Variable used in the calculation

  1. 1Input temperature, activation energy, pre-exponential factor
  2. 2Calculate D = D₀ exp(-Ea/kT)
  3. 3Results show diffusion rate at given temp

ସମାଧାନ ହୋଇଥିବା ଉଦାହରଣ

ଇନପୁଟ୍
Carbon in steel at 800°C
ଫଳ
D ≈ 10⁻¹² m²/s (extremely slow at room temp, faster when hot)

ଏଡ଼ାଇବା ଯୋଗ୍ୟ ସାଧାରଣ ଭୁଲ

  • Using wrong temperature (K not °C)
  • Neglecting Arrhenius relationship

Why is diffusion important?

Controls carburizing, doping, sintering, creep; essential for heat-treatment design.
