Tarnishing of metal surfaces

Input(s)

DO2MOxD_{O 2_{M O x}}: Diffusivity (cm2/s)\left(\mathrm{cm}^{2} / \mathrm{s}\right)

t\mathrm{t}: Time (s)

x\mathrm{x}: Mole Fraction of Oxygen (dimensionless)

coc_{\mathrm{o}}: Solubility of Oxygen (g/cc)(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})

cf\mathrm{c}_{\mathrm{f}}: Molar Density of the Film (gmol/cc)(\mathrm{g} \mathrm{mol} / \mathrm{cc})

Output(s)

zfz_{f}: Thickness of Film (cm)(\mathrm{cm})

Formula(s)

zf=((2DO2MOxtcoxcf)0.5)\mathrm{z}_{\mathrm{f}}=\left(\left(\frac{2 * \mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{O} 2_{\mathrm{MOx}}} * \mathrm{t} * \mathrm{c}_{\mathrm{o}}}{\mathrm{x} * \mathrm{c}_{\mathrm{f}}}\right)^{0.5}\right)
