A bar of 98 wt% Al with 2 wt% of Fe impurity is subjected to one pass of zone refining. The solid–liquid distribution coefficient for the impurity is 0.29. If z/l = 10 and the resulting bar is cut off at z2 = 0.75z, calculate the concentration profile for Fe and the average concentration from (1) in Exercise 17.33.


Exercise 17.33

Derive the following expression for the average impurity concentration over a particular length of crystal layer, z= z1, after one pass or partial pass of zone melting.

Wavg = Wo fl(1-K) K(22-21) -[exp(-2K/l) - exp(-zK/l)] + +1} (1)

Using the results of Example 17.14, calculate wavg for z1 = 0 and z2/l = 9.

Wavg = Wo fl(1-K) K(22-21) -[exp(-2K/l) - exp(-zK/l)] + +1} (1)
