Fick's law of binary diffusion

Input(s)

\(\rho\): Density \((\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})\)

\(\boldsymbol{D}_{\boldsymbol{A} \boldsymbol{B}}\): Diffusivity \(\left(\mathrm{cm}^{2} / \mathrm{s}\right)\)

\(\boldsymbol{d}_{\boldsymbol{a}}\): Mass Fraction of A (fraction)

dy: Difference in Distance \((\mathrm{cm})\)

Output(s)

\(j_{A y}\): Mass Flux \(\left(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{2} \mathrm{~s}\right)\)

Formula(s)

\[ \mathrm{j}_{\mathrm{Ay}}=\mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{AB}} *(-\rho) * \frac{\mathrm{dw}_{\mathrm{a}}}{\mathrm{dy}} \]
