How to Calculate and Solve for Diffusion Coefficient for Vacancy | Phase Transformation
Last Updated on December 12, 2022
The image above represents diffusion coefficient for vacancy.
To compute for diffusion coefficient for vacancy, four essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Constant (k2), Activation Energy for Diffusion (Qd), Boltzmann’s Constant (K) and Temperature (Kelvin) (T).
The formula for calculating diffusion coefficient for vacancy:
Vd = k2exp(-Qd/KT)
Where:
Vd = Diffusion Coefficient for Vacancy
k2 = Constant
K = Boltzmann’s Constant
T = Temperature
Qd = Activation Energy for Diffusion
Let’s solve an example;
Find the diffusion coefficient for vacancy when the constant is 12, the activation energy for diffusion is 6, the boltzmann’s constant is 1.380E-23 and the temperature is 10.
This implies that;
k2 = Constant = 12
K = Boltzmann’s Constant = 1.380E-23
T = Temperature = 10
Qd = Activation Energy for Diffusion = 6
Vd = k2exp(-Qd/KT)
Vd = (12)exp(-(6)/(1.38064852e-23)(10))
Vd = (12)exp((-6)/(1.3806485199999997e-22))
Vd = (12)exp(-4.345783820490389e+22)
Vd = (12)(0)
Vd = 0
Therefore, the diffusion coefficient for vacancy is 0 m²/s.
