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, z2 = 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)](https://dsd5zvtm8ll6.cloudfront.net/si.question.images/images/question_images/1660/8/2/0/83662fe1d64bc1eb1660820833669.jpg)
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)
