My question is how does heat alone (125DegC for 48hours) diffuse the water vapour in a component, I figure the amount of water vapour in grams per cubic cm will be the same regardless of temp...yes with temp the RH changes but once the component reaches the same temp no diffusion will occur??? I have read many baking procedures and none really mention anything about moisture removal from the baking oven. By my rough calculation there would have the be a RH of less than 1% at 125DegC to create a difference in water vapour pressure. I suppose my thinking here may be flawed but i would like to know why can anyone help please :-)

RH changes with temprature. That's why your winshield de-fogs when your defroster is on.

thanks for your reply ....yes the air is then able to hold more water vapour.... but so is the component hence there is no water vapour pressure difference and the component and the air in the oven would still be in equilibrium???? hence no effective transfer... so when the temp is restored the same vol of water vapour will still be inside the component ?? I suspect the oven must have to operate at 0%RH to be effective is this correct???

We require that the ovens used for bake out are vented, thus removing the vapor from the oven.

The activation energy for diffusion for molded with novolac, biphenyl or multifunctional epoxy mold compounds and air are not equal.

thanks Dave,

do you know where I can read a little more on this?

Background on activation energy for diffusion can be found: * Materials textbooks * College lectures posted on the web. Use 'google' or someother search tool.

As a guideline, the higher the activation energy, the harder is is for diffusion to occur.
