Problem 1. A sheet of BCC iron 1 mm thick was exposed to a carburizing gas atmosphere on
one side and a decarburizing atmosphere on the other side at 725°C. After having reached steady
state, the iron was quickly cooled to room temperature. The carbon concentrations at the two
surfaces of the sheet were determined to be 0.012 and 0.0075 wt%, respectively. Compute the
diffusion coefficient if the diffusion flux is 1.4 × 10 -³ kg/m²-s.
(a) Derive an expression for the saturation vapour pressure of water in equilibrium with its vapour
under the assumptions that the latent heat of vaporisation is temperature independent, that the vapour
can be treated as an ideal gas and that the volume occupied by the vapour is much_greater than the.
volume occupied by the liquid.
(b) Calculate the relative humidity (in %) for an air temperature of 24 °C and dew point temperature
of 20 °C. (The saturation vapour pressure at 0 °C is 611 Pa, the specific gas constant for water vapour
is 461.5 J kg' K and latent heat of vaporisation of water is 2.5 x 10° J kg).
