Math Problem Statement
The purification of hydrogen gas is to be achieved by diffusion through a palladium sheet. Calculate the number of kilograms of hydrogen that passes per hour through an 8-mm thick sheet of palladium having an area of 0.2 m2 at 520°C. Assume a linear concentration profile with a diffusion coefficient of 1.10x10-8 m2/s. The high and low-pressure sides of the plate are 2 and 0.5 kg/m3, respectively. Include a drawing with your answer. Please give your answer with 4 significant figures.
