A sheet of BCC iron 1.7-mm thick was exposed to a carburizing atmosphere on one side and a decarburizing atmosphere on the other side at 725°C. After having reached steady state, the iron was quickly cooled to room temperature. The carbon concentrations at the two surfaces were determined to be 0.014 and 0.0072 wt%. Calculate the diffusion coefficient if the diffusion flux is 3.0 × 10^-8 kg/m²-s, given that the densities of carbon and iron are 2.25 and 7.87 g/cm³, respectively.
