How to Calculate and Solve for Diffusion Coefficient at Constant Temperature | Diffusion in Alloying
Last Updated on January 12, 2023
The above image represents the diffusion coefficient at constant temperature.
To compute for diffusion coefficient at constant temperature, four essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Activation Energy of Diffusion (Qd), Gas Constant (R), Temperature (T) and Constant that Varies with Metal Properties (Do).
The formula for calculating diffusion coefficient at constant temperature:
D = Doexp(-Qd/RT)
Where:
D = Diffusion Coefficient at Constant Temperature
Qd = Activation Energy of Diffusion
R = Gas Constant
T = Temperature
Do = Constant that Varies with Metal Properties
Let’s solve an example;
Find the diffusion coefficient at constant temperature when the activation energy of diffusion is 10, the gas constant is 8, the temperature is 12 and the constant that varies with metal properties is 4.
This implies that;
Qd = Activation Energy of Diffusion = 10
R = Gas Constant = 8
T = Temperature = 12
Do = Constant that Varies with Metal Properties = 4
D = Doexp(-Qd/RT)
D = 4exp(-(10)/(8)(12))
D = 4exp(-(10)/(96))
D = 4exp(-(0.10416666666666667))
D = 4exp(-0.10416666666666667)
D = 4(0.9010751057212906)
D = 3.60
Therefore, the diffusion coefficient at constant temperature is 3.60m²/s.
