This lecture covers the generalization to three dimensions of transport mechanisms, including causes of transport in non-equilibrium thermodynamic systems, quantification of inhomogeneity by gradients, equations of continuity, Fick's law for diffusion, and Fourier's law for heat conduction. The presentation also delves into the diffusion equation, Laplacian operator, and thermal conductivity. Examples and historical context are provided throughout.
