The transient current of hydrogen removal from iron following steady‐state permeation is analyzed theoretically for two limiting conditions at the input side. For the fastest possible removal
false(C=0 normalat X=0 normaland at X=Lfalse)
, the amount extracted at the potentiostated side
false(X=Lfalse)
is one third of the total present at steady‐state permeation described by
Cfalse(Xfalse)=Cnormalofalse(1−X/Lfalse)
. Comparison of the integrated total flux and the amount given by the integral of
Cfalse(Xfalse)
indicates possible concentration dependence of hydrogen diffusivity in iron.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
