Fick's Laws

Fick's Laws describe how species diffuse through media due to concentration gradients. The First Law (steady-state) relates diffusion flux to concentration gradient, while the Second Law (transient) describes how concentration changes over time. These laws are fundamental to mass transfer analysis, applying to gases, liquids, and solids. Fick's Laws are analogous to Fourier's Law of heat conduction, replacing temperature with concentration.
