How to Calculate and Solve for Rate Expansion of Metal | Corrosion
Last Updated on August 3, 2022
The rate expansion of metal is illustrated by the image below.
To compute for rate expansion of metal, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Time Independent Constant (K) and Time of Expansion (t).
The formula for calculating the rate expansion of metal:
W = Kt
Where:
W = Rate Expansion of Metal
K = Time Independent Constant
t = Time of Expansion
Let’s solve an example;
Find the rate expansion of metal when the time independent constant is 48 and the time of expansion is 12.
This implies that;
K = Time Independent Constant = 48
t = Time of Expansion = 12
W = Kt
W = (48)(12)
W = 576
Therefore, the rate expansion of metal is 576.
Calculating the Time Independent Constant when the Rate Expansion of Metal and the Time of Expansion is Given.
K = W / t
Where:
K = Time Independent Constant
W = Rate Expansion of Metal
t = Time of Expansion
Let’s solve an example;
Find the time independent constant when the rate expansion of metal is 36 and the time of expansion is 9.
This implies that;
W = Rate Expansion of Metal = 36
t = Time of Expansion = 9
K = W / t
K = 36 / 9
K = 4
Therefore, the time independent constant is 4.
Calculating the Time of Expansion when the Rate Expansion of Metal and the Time Independent Constant is Given.
t = W / K
Where:
t = Time of Expansion
W = Rate Expansion of Metal
K = Time Independent Constant
Let’s solve an example;
Find the time of expansion when the rate expansion of metal is 40 and the time independent constant is 2.
This implies that;
W = Rate Expansion of Metal = 40
K = Time Independent Constant = 2
t = W / K
t = 40 / 2
t = 20
Therefore, the time of expansion is 20.
