case, the unit of C is in mass per unit volume, . g/m3 Minus sign indicates the diffusion is down the concentration gradient Fick’s first law The mathematics of steadystate diffusion in one dimension is given by For steadystate diffusion, the diffusion flux is proportional to the concentration gradient Negative Mathematics of Diffusion (4) ? Nonsteadystate diffusion The diffusion flux at a particular point varies with time. Mathematics of Diffusion (5) The diffusion equation is represented by )(xCDxtC???????Fick’s second law C is a function of x and t If D is independent of the position, the above equation changes to 22xCDtC?????Mass decrease in the box per unit volume per unit time dC/dt = mass increase in the box per unit volume per unit time Volume of the box: 1?dx C = mass per unit volume (concentration) Unit area crosssection Mathematics of Diffusion (6) ?
