ABSTRACTA nonequilibrium simulation scheme is introduced to investigate the transverse diffusive motion in unbounded shear flows of smooth, monodisperse, inelastic spherical particles. A certain labeling algorithm is used in this scheme to extract a one-way particle mass flux which results a concentration gradient for the labeled particles. The self-diffusion coefficient can then be obtained from Fick's law. Using this scheme, one may find that the self-diffusion phenomenon across any layer inside the granular shear flow is analogous to the classic diffusion problem across a membrane. Under steady conditions, the current simulation results revealed that the particle diffusivity can be described by a linear law. This finding justifies the assumption of a linear law relationship in the kinetic theory type derivation of an expression for self-diffusivity. Moreover, it is shown that the results of self-diffusion coefficient obtained from the computer simulations are in agreement with the predictions of kinetic theory formulations in the range of solid volume fractions less than 0.5.

In order to gain a deep insight into the mechanism of Ni-doped Mo activated sintering process, the diffusion behavior of Mo-Ni interface was studied utilizing a Mo-Ni diffusion couple. The phase structure and composition on the diffusion layer were characterized and analyzed by means of scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope, the self diffusion coefficient and interdiffusion coefficient were calculated. The results show that a diffusion layer is formed between Mo and Ni after sintering at 1223k for 1h, which is comprised of a δ-NiMo intermetallic compound and a limit solid solution containing small amounts of nickel. The self diffusion coefficient and interdiffusion coefficient are 2.068×10-18cm2/s and 4.5×10-12cm2/s, respectively. It is suggested that the diffusion rate of Mo in δ-NiMo intermetallic compound and a limit solid solution containing small amounts of nickel is 106 times bigger than that of self diffusion, and the intermetallic compound layer provides a short diffusion path for Mo activated sintering.
