ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS.
1. What are the indices for the two planes drawn in the following
sketch?. 3M

2. Sketch within a cubic unit cell the following

planes: 5M

3. Derive Ficks first Law of diffusion. 3 M

Differentiate between steady state and non-steady state diffusion.2M

4. Draw the octahedral voids in BCC and FCC. 2M

5. A sheet of steel 1.5 mm thick has nitrogen atmospheres on both sides at

1200C and is ermitted to achieve a steady-state diffusion condition. The
diffusion coefficient for nitrogen
in steel at this temperature is 6 X 10 -11
m2/s, and the diffusion flux is found to be 1.2X 10 7 kg/m2 s. Also, it is known
that the concentration of nitrogen in the steel at the high pressure surface is
4 kg/m3. How far into the sheet from this high-pressure side will the
concentration be 2.0 kg/m3? Assume a linear concentration profile. 5M
