It is known that the kinetics of recrystallization for some alloy obeys the Avrami equation, andthat the value of n in the exponential is 5.0. If, at some temperature, the fraction recrystallized is0.30 after 100 min, determine the rate of recrystallization at this temperature.

Respuesta :

Answer:[tex]8.76\times 10^{-3} min^{-1}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

n=5

0.3 fraction recrystallize after 100 min

According to Avrami equation

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

where y=fraction Transformed

k=constant

t=time

[tex]0.3=1-e^{-k(100)^5} [/tex]

[tex]e^{-k(100)^5} =0.7[/tex]

Taking log both sides

[tex]-k\cdot (10^{10}=\ln 0.7[/tex]

[tex]k=3.566\times 10^{-11}[/tex]

At this Point we want to compute [tex]t_{0.5}\ i.e.\ y=0.5[/tex]

[tex]0.5=1-e^{-kt^n}[/tex]

[tex]0.5=e^{-kt^n}[/tex]

[tex]0.5=e^{-3.566\times 10^{-11}\cdot (t)^5}[/tex]

taking log both sides

[tex]\ln 0.5=-3.566\times 10^{-11}\cdot (t)^5[/tex]

[tex]t^5=1.943\times 10^{10}[/tex]

[tex]t=114.2 min[/tex]

Rate of Re crystallization at this temperature

[tex]t^{-1}=8.76\times 10^{-3} min^{-1}[/tex]
