Intro to Chemical Engineering
Fick's Second Law describes how the concentration of a substance changes over time due to diffusion, highlighting the relationship between concentration gradients and the rate of diffusion. It builds upon Fick's First Law by introducing the concept of time, allowing for the prediction of concentration profiles in different media. This law is critical for understanding processes where diffusion is a key factor, such as in chemical engineering applications involving mass transfer and reaction kinetics.
congrats on reading the definition of Fick's Second Law. now let's actually learn it.
