The purification of hydrogen gas by diffusion through a palladium sheet was discussed in Section 5.3. Compute the number of kilograms of hydrogen that pass per hour through a 6-mm thick sheet of palladium having an area of 0.25 m2 at 600°C. Assume a diffusion coefficient of 1.7 × 10–8 m2/s, that the respective concentrations at the high- and low-pressure sides of the plate are 2.0 and 0.4 kg of hydrogen per cubic meter of palladium, and that steady-state conditions have been attained.
