What is Fick’s law applicable to?(a) Momentum transfer(b) Heat transfer(c) Mass transfer(d) Velocity transferI got this question by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.My enquiry is from Molecular Diffusion in portion Mass Transfer of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer»

The CORRECT answer is (c) Mass transfer

The EXPLANATION: In single-phase SYSTEMS, the rate of mass transfer due to molecular diffusion is given by FICK’s law of diffusion, which STATES that mass flux is proportional to the concentration gradient.
