Diffusion in one dimension is modeled using a partial differential equation.
Description
The diffusion of a substance in one dimension over a finite length is modeled. The solution is plotted as (1) Contours in the x-t plane, (2) As functions of distance at specific times, and (3) As functions of time and specific locations. The initial values are given as C(x) = 5, 0.049<=x<=0.051, C(x) = 0, x<0.049 or x>0.051. The boundary conditions are the zero-flux condition (boundaries are reflective).
