From the Ficks second law of diffusion for unsteady state
(Cx - Co) / (Cs - Co) = 1 - erf [x/2Dt]
Initial concentration Co = 0.10
Surface concentration Cs = 0.90
position x = 4 mm x 1m/1000mm
= 0.004 m
Concentration at x
Cx = 0.30
(0.30 - 0.10) / (0.90 - 0.10) = 1 - erf [x/2Dt]
0.25 = 1 - erf [x/2Dt]
erf [x/2Dt] = 0.75
z erf z
0.80 0.7421
z 0.75
0.85 0.7707
(z - 0.80) / (0.85-0.80) = (0.75 - 0.7421)/(0.7705 - 0.7421)
(z - 0.80) / (0.05) = (0.013811)
z = 0.8138
[x/2Dt] = z = 0.8138
Diffusion coefficient D = 7.0*10^-11 m2/s
[0.004/2( 7.0*10^-11 m2/s) * t] = 0.8138
[( 7.0*10^-11 m2/s) * t] = 0.002457
( 7.0*10^-11 m2/s) * t] = 6.04 x 10^-6
t = 8.63 x 10^4 s x 1hr/3600s
= 23.97 hr
