This lecture introduces the concept of diffusion from a macroscopic perspective, focusing on the derivation of the diffusion equation through mass conservation and fixed flux law. The instructor explains the relationship between chemical diffusion and heat conduction, highlighting the mathematical similarities between the two processes. The lecture covers the diffusion equation as a partial differential equation, emphasizing the importance of initial and boundary conditions for solving it effectively.
