Document Summary

The transport of physical quantities affects every part of life around us. Consider the cells within the human body: mass is transported in and out to provide fuel and eliminate waste, heat is transported to regulate temperature, and electricity provides communications. In this module we will explore the transport of mass, heat, and electricity in solids, a mode that is generally called diffusion. We will assume steady-state conditions and one-dimensional flow. This leads to: fick"s first law, fourier"s law, and ohm"s law. Although they were discovered by different individuals, all three share the identical form. Note we will return to the topic of. Chapter 5: mass diffusion coefficient, vacancy diffusion, interstitial diffusion, fick"s first law. Chapter 18: resistivity, conductivity, electronic conduction, ionic conduction, ohm"s law. Chapter 19: specific heat capacity, latent heat, thermal conductivity, diffusivity, fourier"s law. At the end of this module, you should be able to. Name and describe the underlying mechanisms of mass, heat, and electrical conduction.
