Q3: A plate of iron is exposed to a carburizing (carbon-rich) atmosphere on one side and a decarburizing (carbon- deficient) atmosphere on the other side at 700 °C (1300 °F). If a condition of steadystate is achieved, calculate the diffusion flux of carbon through the plate if the concentrations of carbon at position of 5 and 10 mm beneath the carburizing surface are 1.2 and 0.8 kg/m3, respectively. Assume a diffusion coefficient of 3x10 11 m2/s at this temperature.
