How to Calculate and Solve for Body Diffusion | Diffusion in Alloying
Last Updated on January 12, 2023
The image above represents body diffusion.
To compute for body diffusion, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Concentration at Depth x (Cx), Concentration at the Surface of the Body (Cs) and Initial Concentration (Co).
The formula for calculating body diffusion:
B.D. = (Cx – Co)/(Cs – Co)
Where:
B.D. = Body Diffusion
Cx = Concentration at Depth x
Cs = Concentration at the Surface of the Body
Co = Initial Concentration
Let’s solve an example;
Find the body diffusion when the concentration at depth x is 5, the concentration at the surface of the body is 10 and the initial concentration is 2.
This implies that;
Cx = Concentration at Depth x = 5
Cs = Concentration at the Surface of the Body = 10
Co = Initial Concentration = 2
B.D. = (Cx – Co)/(Cs – Co)
B.D. = (5 – 2)/(10 – 2)
B.D. = (3)/(8)
B.D. = 0.375
Therefore, the body diffusion is 0.375.
