Problem Solving. A plate of iron is exposed to a carburizing atmosphere on one side and a decarburizing atmosphere on the other side at 850 °C. If a condition of steady state is achieved, calculate the diffusion flux of carbon through the plate if the concentrations of carbon at positions of 5 and 10 mm beneath the carburizing surface are 1.4 and 0.8 kg/m³, respectively. Assume a diffusion coefficient of 3 x 10-11 m²/s at this temperature.
