Drugs, Dyes, & Mass Transfer: Crash Course Engineering #16

The video tutorial explores the concept of mass transfer, emphasizing its significance in engineering and everyday life. It distinguishes mass transfer from bulk fluid movement, focusing on the movement of individual molecules. The tutorial highlights the role of mass transfer in drug delivery, explaining how medicine moves within the body. It discusses the driving forces behind mass transfer, such as concentration gradients, and introduces diffusion as a key process. Fick's Law is presented as a model for understanding mass transfer, with practical examples illustrating its importance in safety and chemical reactions.

Discuss the implications of concentration differences in mass transfer.

Describe the process of diffusion and its importance in mass transfer.

What is Fick's law and how does it relate to mass transfer?
