A. In a rectangular drug delivery device that consists of a drug reservoir and a diffusion
barrier made of a polymer gel, the steady state diffusion (mass transfer) rate through a
barrier of thickness 1 cm was found to be 20 mg/day. If the barrier thickness were to be
doubled keeping the reservoir drug concentration the same, the mass transfer rate
would be 10 mg/day.
B. In a spherical drug delivery device consisting of a core reservoir surrounded by a
polymer gel barrier, the steady state diffusion (mass transfer) rate through a barrier of
thickness 1 cm was found to be 20 mg/day. If the barrier thickness were to be doubled
keeping the reservoir drug concentration the same, the mass transfer rate would be 10
mg/day.
Explain the concept of heat transfer, and spontaneity and probability base on the increasing temperature of gas molecules in the chamber.

- The wear resistance of a Steel shaft is to be improved by hardening its surface. This is to be accomplished 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 0.002 Wt%, whereas the surface concentration will be maintained at 0.45 wt%. For this treatment to be effective, nitrogen content of 0.12 wt% must be established at a position 0.45 mm below the surface.
