This lecture introduces the concept of mass transport, focusing on molecular diffusion and advective mass transport. The Fick's first law is explained in detail, describing the process of molecules moving from high to low concentration. The lecture covers the definitions of molar flow rate and molar flux, as well as the diffusion coefficient values for different materials. Examples and exercises are provided to illustrate the application of Fick's law in real-world scenarios.
