Radial and tangential diffusion coefficients of boron in wood under water leaching conditions were determined from the change of concentration profiles of boron. Egner's solution was used to obtain variable diffusion coefficients of boron because it has been known to be the only method to determine variable diffusion coefficients with no cumbersome assumption. The values of diffusion coefficients were between $0.18{\times}10^{-6}m^2/sec$ and $25.6{\times}10^{-6}cm^2/sec$. They increased with the increase of sample thicknesses, and decreased with the increase of leaching times. There was a region where Egner's method was not valid. However, Egner's solution illustrates a convenient way to evaluate diffusion characteristics of boron from wood under water leaching conditions. The diffusion coefficients at wood surface may be regarded as leaching coefficients.

The service life evaluation in RC(Reinforced Concrete) structure exposed to chloride attack can be classified into deterministic and probabilistic method, and it significantly varies with design parameters. The present work derives PDF (Probability of Durability Failure) and the related service life considering time-dependent diffusion coefficient and internal parameters such as reference diffusion coefficient, critical chloride content, and time-exponent. When critical chloride content increases to 133.3%, the changing ratios of service life are 134.0~145.4% for deterministic method and 149.2%~152.5% for probabilistic method, respectively. In the case of increasing time-exponent to 200%, they increase to 323.8% for deterministic method and 346.0% for probabilistic method. Through adopting time-diffusion coefficient for probabilistic method, reasonable service life evaluation can be achieved, and it is also verified that increasing time-exponent through mineral admixture is very effective to extension of service life in RC structure.

This paper considers transference number in calculating diffusion coefficient of chloride ions of concrete and mercury intrusion porosimetry to investigate the volume and distribution of pore size, respectively, analyzing and discussing the property of resistance to chloride ion of concrete with granulated blast furnace slag. The experimental results show that the diffusion coefficient of chloride ion decreases with the rise of quantity of granulated blast furnace slag and pore structure of concrete with granulated blast furnace slag is different from that of OPC concrete. And from the results of regression analysis, the result showed that the diffusion coefficient of chloride ions is affected by capillary pore above 50nm.

SOFC is a high temperature fuelcell with many advantages, but it also have several demerits. One of the Issues is cathode poisoning of Cr coming from stainless steel interconnects. Diffusion process of Cr evaporated from the surface of interconnect steel was calculated by using CFD technique to understand factors for Cr deposition. It has been cleared that factors concerned in Cr deposition and how they affect Cr deposition. Major variables for Cr deposit ion are diffusion coefficient, air velocity and temperature If diffusion coefficient decreases, Cr concentration increases in the air but decreases on the cathode surface. Increasing in air velocity, Cr concentration decreases in the air and on the cathode surface. Increase in temperature leads to rising Cr concentration on the cathode surface because of diffusion coefficient increment.

A chloride is an important deteriorating factor which governs the durability of the reinforced-concrete structures under marine environments. Also, the main penetration mechanism of chloride ion into concrete is a diffusion phenomenon. In this study, It is evaluated the diffusion coefficient of chloride ion in non-steady state by Fick's second law. Submergence method in salt water carried out in this experiment. Two types of cement which is different in mineral composition were used. In addition, the effect of mineral admixtures of blast-furnace slag and meta-kaolin was studied. In conclusion, the diffusion coefficient of chloride ion is much affected according to cement type and mineral admixtures, also, it is proved that meta-kaolin as well as blast-furnace slag is effective in preventing penetration of chloride ion.

In order to obtain tasic information for solvent dyeing, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films was pretreated with water, tetrachloroethylene (TCE) and water/TCE emulsion for three hours at $140^{\circ}C$ for stabilizing the substrate. By film roll cyliderical method, Disperse Red 60, Disperse Yellow 42, and Disperse Blue 27 were diffused in the films and examined dyeing properties. The results are summarized as follows; 1) Diffusion coefficient increases in the order, waterTCE>water/TCE 2) A linear relationship between diffusion coefficient and shrinkage was Observed 3) The temperature dependence of the diffusion coefficient can't be expressed by WLF equation.

Mechanical properties and durability of recycled aggregate concrete was known to decrease due to the adhesive mortar of recycled aggregate. But in this study, As the result of chloride diffusion resistance of recycled fine aggregate mortar, the mechanical properties are reduced according to the increase of the substitute ratio of recycled fine aggregate. But the chloride diffusion coefficient was almost same with natural fine aggregate mortar.

This experiment studied the change in a human's control of his or her static posture by analyzing the stabilogram diffusion and, by using the said study, evaluated the control ability of different groups with different experiences. The postures had a rising requirement of heel-rise according to three conditions: heel-toe, ball, toe; the groups were divided into dance major student and non-dance majors. The results of the critical points according to posture did not show a direct relation with the change in postures that had a rising requirement of heel-rise. The diffusion coefficient(D) had greater stochastic activity for short-term regions that utilize open-loop controls without feedback than for long-term regions that used closed-loop controls with feedback to maintain balance. The directional results of the body undergoing disturbance showed that A/P direction's diffusion coefficient (D) was larger than that of M/L direction. Both feet's planar diffusion coefficients were a linear combination of the diffusion coefficients calculated for the x and y axis. In studying the different abilities to control posture between a dance major student and a non-dance majors, a comparison of open-loop control's diffusion coefficient(D) was effective, and dance major student had superior control ability to that of non-dance majors.

Reactive diffusion couples between Fe-5.8at.%Si and (Si wafer, $FeSi_2$, or FeSi alloy) were heat-treated at 1423k. The only layer of $Fe_3Si$ phase was formed in each diffusion couple. The width of $Fe_3Si$ layer was proportional to square root of diffusion time in each kind of diffusion couple. Growth rate of $Fe_3Si$ layer was relied on the concentration of Si in the supplied source of Si atoms. Interdiffusion coefficient of $Fe_3Si$ has been determined from the derived relation between growth rate constant and interdiffusion coefficient in this work. It was shown that the behavior of Kirkendall's void in $Fe_3Si$ layer was not affected by the kind of Si source. But solid solution $\alpha$ was formed in the diffusion couple between Fe-5.8 at.%Si and $Fe_3Si$ alloy. Kirkendall's voids in diffusional $\alpha$ were neglectively smaller than the case of $Fe_3Si$ phase growth.

Diffusion of water in hardened cement concrete and mortar influences on the dry shrinkage. creep. modulus of' elasticity, etc. In general, water loss through drying process in polymer-modified concrete and mortar is small compared with that of unmodified concrete and mortar due to the films formed by polymer as cement modifieder. The purpose of this study is to investigate the diffusion process of water in the polymer-modified mortars. The polymer-modified mortars using three polymer dispersions and epoxy resin are prepared with various polymer-cement ratios, and water diffusion coefficient of polymer-modified mortars according to inside water content is calculated. From the test results, the water diffusion coefficient of polymer modified mortars i s smaller than that of unmodified mortars and decreases with increasing polymer cement ratio.
