A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Fick's law of molecular diffusion

Fick's law of molecular diffusion explains how species move from regions of high concentration to low concentration, and it gives the quantitative link between diffusion flux and concentration gradient. For exam purposes, you must master the meaning of diffusive flux, the sign in the law, the role of the diffusion coefficient, and how to apply the law in one-dimensional steady problems.
