Which change decreases the partial pressure of non-dissolved hydrogen gas bubbling through molten steel?

A)Increase the bath's liquidus temperature
B)Circulate cooled, high-density inert gas
C)Increase hydrogen activity in furnace gases
D)Reduce overall atmospheric moisture content

💡 Explanation

Circulating cooled, high-density inert gas promotes convective mass transfer because the *concentration gradient* increases the evaporative flux caused by improved ventilation; therefore, partial pressure decreases rather than increases observed activity because equilibrium is temperature-sensitive.
