Hydrogen gas seems to have a diffusivity of about 2.6 x 10^-13 m^2/s when diffusing into iron at 770 K. What would you expect the rate of diffusion or mass flow rate per unit area of hydrogen to be when stored in an iron container at 5 atmospheres pressure, assuming the density of hydrogen at 1 mm in the iron from the containing surface to be 5% of the normal hydrogen density, given by p/RT?

What will be an ideal response?

The test data tabulated on the next page were reduced from measurements made to determine the heat-transfer coefficient inside tubes at Reynolds numbers only slightly above transition and at relatively high Prandtl numbers (as associated with oils). Tests were made in a double-tube exchanger with a counterflow of water to provide the cooling. The pipe used to carry the oils was 1.5 cm-OD, 18 BWG, 3 m-long. Correlate the data in terms of appropriate dimensionless parameters.


Hint: Start by correlating Nu and ReD irrespective of the Prandtl numbers, since the influence of
the Prandtl number on the Nusselt number is expected to be relatively small. By plotting Nu vs.
Re on log-log paper, one can guess the nature of the correlation equation, Nu = f1 (Re). A plot of
Nu/f1 (Re) vs. Pr then reveals the dependence upon Pr. For the final equation, the influence of
the viscosity variation also is considered.
