Fick's first law can be used to derive his second law which in turn is identical to the diffusion equation. Fick's first law: Movement of particles from high to low concentration (diffusive flux) is directly proportional to the particle's concentration gradient. [1] Fick's second law: Prediction of change in concentration gradient with time due ...
Where D is the diffusion coefficient, D 0 is the frequency factor specific to your mineral element pair, E a is the activation energy in Joules, R is the gas constant, and T is temperature in Kelvin. This diffusivity (D) is then used in the appropriate analytical or numerical solutions to Fick’s second law to calculate a timescale.
A model of grain boundary diffusion developed by JC Fisher in 1953. This solution can then be modeled via a modified differential solution to Fick's Second Law that adds a term for sideflow out of the boundary, given by the equation + (,) = ′, where ′ is the diffusion coefficient, is the boundary width, and (,) is the rate of sideflow.
Fick's first law: The diffusion flux, , is proportional to the negative gradient of spatial concentration, (,): = (,), where D is the diffusion coefficient. The corresponding diffusion equation (Fick's second law) is
The diffusion equation is a parabolic partial differential equation.In physics, it describes the macroscopic behavior of many micro-particles in Brownian motion, resulting from the random movements and collisions of the particles (see Fick's laws of diffusion).
An analogous Fourier number can be derived by nondimensionalization of Fick's second law of diffusion. The result is a Fourier number for mass transport, F o m {\displaystyle \mathrm {Fo} _{m}} defined as: [ 4 ]
Ludwig Boltzmann worked on Fick's second law to convert it into an ordinary differential equation, whereas Chujiro Matano performed experiments with diffusion couples and calculated the diffusion coefficients as a function of concentration in metal alloys. [1]
