ON SETTING A BOUNDARY CONDITION FOR THE EQUATION OF CONVECTIVE DIFFUSION OF HYDROGEN IN A LIQUID METAL UNDER THE ACTION OF AN ELECTROSTATIC FIELD

The Sieverts relation is generalized to the case of setting a boundary condition for the equation of convective diffusion of hydrogen in a liquid metal by supplementing it with the electric field strength and the degree of ionization of hydrogen atoms in a melt. The relation obtained agrees qualitatively with the results of laboratory investigations. It can be used in computer simulation of convective diffusion of hydrogen in a liquid metal subjected to the action of external electrostatic field.
