How to Calculate and Solve for Particle Grain Growth | Phase Transformation
Last Updated on December 12, 2022
The image above represents particle grain growth.
To compute for particle grain growth, four essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Temperature Constant (C), Activation Energy (Q), Boltzmann’s Constant (K) and Temperature (Kelvin) (T).
The formula for calculating particle grain growth:
G’ = C exp (-Q/KT)
Where:
G’ = Particle Grain Growth
Q = Activation Energy
C = Temperature Constant
K = Boltzmann’s Constant
T = Temperature
Let’s solve an example;
Find the particle grain growth when the activation energy is 4, the temperature constant is 8, the boltzmann’s constant is 1.380E-23 and the temperature is 10.
This implies that;
Q = Activation Energy = 4
C = Temperature Constant = 8
K = Boltzmann’s Constant = 1.380E-23
T = Temperature = 10
G’ = C exp (-Q/KT)
G’ = (8)exp(-(4)/(1.38064852e-23)(10))
G’ = (8)exp(-4/1.3806485199999997e-22)
G’ = (8)exp(-2.8971892136602593e+22)
G’ = (8)(0)
G’ = 0
Therefore, the particle grain growth is 0.
