Non Steady State Diffusion Error Function

are solute molecules on the left side of a barrier (purple line) and none on the right. The barrier is removed, and the solute diffuses to fill the whole container. Top: A single molecule moves around randomly. steady state diffusion example Middle: With more molecules, there is a clear trend where the solute fills the non steady state diffusion example container more and more uniformly. Bottom: With an enormous number of solute molecules, randomness becomes undetectable: The solute appears to move

smoothly and systematically from high-concentration areas to low-concentration areas. This smooth flow is described by Fick's laws. Fick's laws of diffusion describe diffusion and were derived by Adolf Fick in 1855. They can be used

to solve for the diffusion coefficient, D. Fick's first law can be used to derive his second law which in turn is identical to the diffusion equation.

It postulates that the flux goes from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration, with a magnitude that is proportional to the concentration gradient (spatial derivative), or in simplistic terms the concept that a solute will move from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration across a concentration gradient. In one (spatial) dimension, the law is: J = − D d φ d x {\displaystyle J=-D{\frac {d\varphi }{dx}}} where J is the "diffusion flux," of which the dimension is amount of substance per unit area per unit time, so it is expressed in such units as molm−2s−1. J measures the amount of substance that will flow through a unit area during a unit time interval. D is the diffusion coefficient or diffusivity. Its dimension is area per unit time, so typical units for expressing it would be m2/s. φ (for ideal mixtures) is the concentration, of which the dimension is amount of substance per unit volume. It might be expressed in units of mol/m3. x is position, the dimension of which
