AI Thread Summary
Gas permeability charts for Helium and Hydrogen can be found through Google, Google Books, and local university libraries. Greenhouse's "Hermeticity of Electronic Packages" is recommended for detailed information on this topic. The physical mechanism of gas escape involves gas atoms entering solids, occupying interstitial sites, or moving along grain boundaries. Gas permeation occurs as numerous gas atoms diffuse through the material and exit. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for applications involving gas containment and material selection.

Where could one find a table of Helium and/or Hydrogen escape rates through various materials? What is the Physical mechanism: is it tunneling only or other things contribute as well?

Thanks!

You are looking for gas permeability charts and tables, some of which can be found through Google and Google Books (and your local university library). Are you looking for any materials in particular?

I don't have the book handy, but Greenhouse's Hermeticity of Electronic Packages has a lot of useful information.

The mechanism is that a gas atom enters the solid (in crystals, it might occupy an interstitial site or travel down grain boundaries) and randomly moves around. Gas permeation involves many, many gas atoms that diffused through and exited the other side of the material.
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
