FICK'S LAW AND HIS

DIFFUSIVITY
ILIANA PATRICIA FRANCO LONA
40QAI4

The Fick's law determines the clear flow of atoms J. When the
temperature of a material is increased, the coefficient of
diffusion and the clear flow of atoms increase.

When the gradient of concentration remains constant with the


passage of time, in such a way that the rapidity of diffusion is
constant.
And it can be applied to the cases in which the diffusivity is
independent from the concentration and where there is no
flow for convection. Then, NA, the rapidity of diffusion of the
substance For unit of transverse section of solid, is
proportional to the gradient of concentration in the direction of
the diffusion, - dc,/dz,

DIFFUSION IN SOLIDS
Diffusion in not stationary condition, Since the solid
ones are not transported so easily across the
equipment as the fluids, the application of the
processes by lots and semi-lots and, in consequence,
the conditions of diffusion in not stationary condition
appear with major frequency that in case of fluids

TYPES OF DIFFUSION IN SOLIDS


Diffusion across polymers
Diffusion across solid crystalline

Diffusion across polymers


In many aspects, the diffusion of
solutes across certain types of
polymeric solid looks like more the
diffusion across liquid solutions that to
any of other phenomena of diffusion in
solid, at least when it is a question of
the incondensable gases since solutes.
The "activated" term refers to the
dependence of the temperature of the
diffusivity:

DIFFUSION ACROSS SOLID


CRYSTALLINE
The mechanisms of diffusion change to a great extent
depending on the crystalline structure and on the nature of
the solute, the principal mechanisms are the following ones:
Intermediate mechanism: The intermediate points are places
between the atoms of a crystalline network.

Mechanism of hollow: If the sites of the network are vacated


(vacant), an atom in an adjacent site can dandle to the
vacancy.
Intermediate mechanism of hollow: In this case a big atom
that occupies an intermediate point pushes one of his
neighbors in the crystalline network to an intermediate
position and moves to the vacancy that has produced.

DIFFUSION IN POROUS SOLIDS


The solid one can be, in the form of a porous barrier or membrane,
separating two parts of the fluid.
Here, the movement of the solute can be by diffusion of a part of the fluid
to other one, by virtue of a concentration gradient; also it can be
hydrodynamic, as result of a difference of pressure
The pores of a solid can be interconnected, which means that the fluid can
reach them for both sides of the pores; route closed or connected on the
outside of the solid in just one side; or isolated, inaccessible to the external
fluid.
