A 2 mm thick, 5L vessel made of nickel is used ot store hydrogen gas at 358 K and 300 kPa. If the total inner surface area of the vessel is 1600 cm^2, determine the rate of gas loss from the nickel vessel via mas diffusion. Also, determine the fraction of the hydrogen lost by mass diffusion after one year of storage.

Gaseous hydrogen at a constant pressure is to flow within the inside of a thin-walled cylindrical tube of nickel. Consider the steady-state diffusion of hydrogen through the walls of this cylindrical nickel tube. One design calls for a diffusion flux of 5 x 10-8 mol/m2.s, a tube radius of 0.125 m, and inside and outside pressures of 0.5065 MPa (5 atm) and 0.0203 MPa (0.2 atm), respectively; the maximum allowable temperature is 450°C. In case the wall thickness is 2 mm and the yield strength is greater than twice the circumferential stress, what would be the temperature to give this diffusion flux and yet ensure that the tube walls will not experience any permanent deformation? i °C

Insulation degrades (experiences an increase in thermal conductivity) if it is subjected to water vapor condensation. The problem may occur in home insulation during cold periods, when vapor in a humidified room diffuses through the drywall (plaster board) and condenses in the adjoining insulation. Estimate the mass diffusion rate for a 3 m × 4 m wall, under conditions for which the vapor pressure is 0.035 bar in the room air and 0.0 bar in the insulation. The drywall is 15 mm thick, and the solubility of water vapor in the wall material is approximately 5 × 10−3 kmol/m3 ⋅ bar. The binary diffusion coefficient for water vapor in the drywall is approximately 10−9 m2/s.
The wear resistance of a steel shaft is to be improved by hardening its surface by increasing the nitrogen content within an outer surface layer as a result of nitrogen diffusion into the steel; the nitrogen is to be supplied from an external nitrogen-rich gas at an elevated and constant temperature. The initial nitrogen content of the steel is 0.0020wt%, whereas the surface concentration is to be maintained at 0.50wt%. For this application, a nitrogen content of 0.10wt% at a position 0.40 mm below the surface is desired. I. Will this process be a steady state or non-steady state process? Why? II. Would you expect nitrogen to diffuse by a vacancy mechanism or an interstitial mechanism? Why?
