nvestigation of Factors Affecting the Rate of Diffusion In addition to the concentration gradient (i.e. the difference in the concentration of particles between two environments) there are many other factors known to affect the rate of diffusion including; temperature the size of the diffusing particles the viscosity of the medium through which the particles move The purpose of this exercise is for you to work in groups to design experiments to test two of the factors listed above. You will...

The steady-state diffusion flux through a metal plate is 5.4 x 10-10 kg/m2 s at a temperature of 827 °C (1100 K) and when the concentration gradient is -350 kg/m4

The steady-state diffusion flux through a metal plate is 5.4 x 10-10 kg/m2 s at a temperature of 827 °C (1100 K) and when the concentration gradient is -350 kg/m4 . Calculate the diffusion flux at 1027 °C (1300 K) for the same concentration gradient and assuming an activation energy for diffusion of 150,000 J/mol.

A) Explain why the steady state growth rate is independent of the savings rate in the Solow growth model? B) Suppose two economies A and B exhibit the same exogenous growth rate of the labour force. There is no technical progress and the savings propensities are the same in both economies. The initial capital stock in country A is much larger than that of country B. Compare the transitional dynamics and the steady state growth paths of the two economies.
