5) Choose the correct option after reading the statement 1 and 2? 1 point
STATEMENT 1: Probability of successful jumps of atoms from one site to other increases with
increasing temperature, and hence diffusivity increases with temperature.
6) Choose the correct option after reading the statement 1 and 2? 1 point
Assertion: Interstitial diffusion is generally faster than substitutional diffusion.
Reason: Substitutional diffusion requires presence of vacancy and hence activation barrier for
substitutional diffusion has an extra term of ΔHv, which causes lower substitutional diffusion.
7) Which of these equations defines Continuity equation (commonly known as Fick’s second 1 point
law). (where terms have their usual meaning)
∂C/∂x = D.(∂C/∂t)
∂C/∂t = D.(∂2C/∂x2)
∂C/∂x = D.(∂2C/∂t2)
∂C/∂t = D.(∂C/∂x)
Accepted Answers:
∂C/∂t = D.(∂2C/∂x2)
8) A sheet of metal is undergoing carburizing heat treatment process at 800 K and it is given 1 point
that at a particular point of time, the concentration of carbon at position of 7 and 7.5 mm beneath the
carburizing surface are 2.4 and 2.15 kg/m3, respectively. Calculate average diffusion flux in this slice
assuming constant diffusion coefficient of 5x10-12 m2/s at given temperature?
9) The diffusion coefficient for diffusivity of Tin in Copper at 800 K and 1000 K are 4.0x10 -14 1 point
kg/m2-s and 8.0x10-14 kg/m2-s, respectively. Determine the approximate time at 800 K that will produce
the same diffusion length as a 20 hr heat treatment at 1000 K.
