Negative Diffusion

An interesting anomaly in the diffusion process with an apparently negative diffusion coefficient defined through the mean-square displacement in a one-dimensional quantum molecular chain model is shown. Nevertheless, the system satisfies the H-theorem so that the second law of thermodynamics is satisfied. The reason why the “diffusion constant” becomes negative is due to the effect of the phase mixing process, which is a characteristic result of the one-dimensionality of the system. We illustrate the situation where this negative “diffusion constant” appears.

Abstract The process of diffusion-limited cell dehydration is modeled for a planar system by writing the one-dimensional diffusion-equation for a cell with moving, semipermeable boundaries. For the simplifying case of isothermal dehydration with constant diffusivity, an approximate analytical solution is obtained by linearizing the governing partial differential equations. The general problem must be solved numerically. The Forward Time Center Space (FTCS) and Crank-Nicholson differencing schemes are implemented, and evaluated by comparison with the analytical solution. Putative stability criteria for the two algorithms are proposed based on numerical experiments, and the Crank-Nicholson method is shown to be accurate for a mesh with as few as six nodes.

Precise Assessment

The simplified algorithm of the numerical solution of the differential diffusion equation is presented. The solution is based on the one-dimensional diffusion model with the third kind boundary conditions and the finite difference method. The proposed approach allows for the quick and precise assessment of the carburizing process parameters – temperature and time.

The transport of salt, necessarily coupled with the transport of water, through porous building materials may heavily limit their durability due to possible deterioration and structural damage. Usually, the binding of salt to the pore walls is assumed to occur instantly, as soon as the salt is transported by water to a given position. We consider the advection-diffusion model of the transport and generalize it to include possible delays in the binding. Applying the Boltzmann-Matano method, we calculate the diffusion coefficient of the salt in dependence on the salt concentration and show that it increases with the rate of binding. We apply our results to an example of the chloride transport in a lime plaster.

The One

A theory is presented for the behaviour under self-weight of inextensible but perfectly flexible membranes supported in a vertical plane. Slack in the membrane manifests itself in the formation of (curved) wrinkle lines whose determination is the prime objective. The equilibrium and strain conditions are derived and solutions are given for several simple cases. It is shown that the wrinkle lines satisfy the one-dimensional diffusion equation and hence there are analogies, for example, with heat flow through a slab.
