For some metal alloy it is known that the kinetics of recrystallization obey the Avrami equation, and that the value of k in the exponential is 2.60 x 10-6, for time in seconds. If, at some temperature, the rate of recrystallization is 0.0013 s-1, what total time (in s) is required for the recrystallization reaction to go to 90% completion?

Respuesta :

Answer:

t = 1456.8 sec

Explanation:

given data:

contant k = 2.60*10^{-6}

rate of crystallization is 0.0013 s-1

rate of transformation is given by

[tex]r = \frac{1}{t_0.5}[/tex]

use specifies value to solve [tex]t_0.5[/tex]

it is ime required for 50% tranformation

[tex]r = \frac{1}{.0013}=769.2 sec[/tex]

Avrami equation is given by

[tex]y = 1 - e^{-kt^n}[/tex]

[tex]0.5 = 1 - e^{-kt_0.5^n}[/tex]

[tex]1-0.5 = e^{-kt_0.5^n}[/tex]

[tex]ln (1 - 0.5) = -kt_0.5^n[/tex]

[tex]ln \frac{ln (1 - 0.5)}{-k} = nln t_0.5[/tex]

[tex]n = \frac{ ln \frac{ln (1 - 0.5)}{-k}}{ln t_0.5}[/tex]

[tex]n = \frac{ ln \frac{ln (1 - 0.5)}{-2.60*10^{-6}}}{ln 769.2}[/tex]

n = 1.88

second degree of recrystalization may be determine by rearranging original avrami equation

[tex]t = [\frac{-ln(1-y)}{k}]^{1/n}[/tex]

for 90%completion

[tex]t = [\frac{-ln(1-0.9)}{2.60*10^{-6}}]^{1/1.88}[/tex]

t = 1456.8 sec
