The steady-state solution to the diffusion equation in one dimension can be used to describe the diffusion of a small molecule through a cell plasma membrane that resists the diffusion of the …

Steady state (time independent) diffusion is described by Fick’s first law: \(J=-D \dfrac{d C}{d x}\) Here, \(\mathrm{J}\) is the diffusion flux: the rate at which an amount of a substance passes …

Figure 4: One-dimensional, steady-state solutions to the heat di usion with no heat generation. Consider a long steel pipe of a 20-mm outer diameter (OD) and 1-mm wall thickness carrying …

Steady-State Diffusion When the concentration field is independent of time and D is independent of c, Fick’! "2c=0 s second law is reduced to Laplace’s equation, For simple geometries, such …

In the cylindrical geometry, we find the steady temperature profile to be logarithmic in the radial coordinate in an analogous situation. To see why, let us construct a model of steady …

<Home Work> Solve for the expression of θ/θ b, given the on p.151, for the case with a given base temperature and an adiabatic tip. The fin efficiencies of some examples with nonuniform …

1. Steady­state (a) No generation i. Cartesian equation: d2T = 0 dx2 Solution: T = Ax+B 1Most texts simplify the cylindrical and spherical equations, they divide by rand 2 respectively and …

catalyst surface, as shown. The reaction is “diffusion-limited,” however, because the rate of completion of the reaction is determined by the rate of diffusion through the “film” near the …

We looked at a wall with no heat generation. Many cases require the consideration of a wall with heat generation. One such case is heat generation due to resistance. The specified …

For one-dimensional, steady-state with no heat generation and constant conductivity, the temperature varies linearly with x. The existence of a finite contact resistance is due principally …
