DIFUSSION

Example

Low
concentration
of water

High
concentra
tion of ink
If the molecules are all the same, the diffusion
calculation is only an academic desire
The concentration at distance x from the
point of the vertical field is:

The coefficient of Self-diffusion D is then defined by

the equation:
Total number of free trajectories that occur in dV in
time dt is:

Number of molecules marked highways are:

The number of molecules crossing dA without
making a collision is:

Based on equation (1) and reviewed in geometry,

then:
Inserting this equation
We Now are the integration of these two
statements for over  from 0 to /2, over  from
0 to 2, and over r from 0 to :
Thus, the number of molecules passing through the
field from left to right, per unit area per unit time,
expressed by, namely:

With the same car, the number of molecules passing through the field
from right to left are:
The total number of molecules passing through
the field from left to right the equation :
About the definition of the coefficient D, is
obtained:
Trajectory of the mean free path  is:

Where n' is the total number of molecules per unit

volume. So, we can write:
