fickian diffusion

What are Fick’s Laws of Diffusion?

Fick's First Law states that the diffusion flux is proportional to the concentration gradient. It can be expressed as:
\[ J = -D \frac{dC}{dx} \]
where \( J \) is the diffusion flux, \( D \) is the diffusion coefficient, \( C \) is the concentration, and \( x \) is the position.
Fick's Second Law describes the time dependence of the concentration distribution and is given by:
\[ \frac{\partial C}{\partial t} = D \frac{\partial^2 C}{\partial x^2} \]
This law is particularly important for understanding how the concentration of nanoparticles evolves over time in a given medium.
