1 ENGR1600: Materials Science for Engineers Interactive Activity #04 DIFFUSION SIMULATION REPORT TEMPLATE IMPORTANT: Discussion is encouraged, but each student should do their own simulations, calculations, and graph preparation. Objective : Run simulations of random walk model of diffusion to, (1) understand diffusion at the atomic level, (2) calculate diffusion coefficient, D, by simulating diffusion distance versus time at four different temperatures, (3) create an Arrhenius plot to determine the activation energy, Q. Procedure : Download CDF App of Diffusion-Simulation from LMS. Follow instructions on the CDF app. Step 1 (Part B: Obtain diffusion coefficient, D, from RMS displacement versus time at four different temperatures) : a) On a single graph, insert a figure with the RMS displacement versus square root of time (obtained in Part B), at four different temperatures, showing the best linear curve fit for each (y = mx + b) and the R^2 value. The slopes of each line is the square root of 6D, or (6D) 1/2 , from which the diffusion coefficient at each temperature can be calculated.
2 b) Insert a table of the Diffusion Coefficient at the 4 different temperatures you selected from part (a). Include correct units
