The two surfaces of a 5 mm thick plate of carbon steel are maintained at a carbon concentration of 104 mol. m-3 on one side and zero concentration on the other side. Taking the diffusion coefficient of carbon in austenite to be 10-11 m-2.s-1, the steady state flux (mol.m-3.s-1) through the thickness of the steel is
A. 10-5
B. 2 × 10-5
C. 4 × 10-5
