Chapter 5: Diffusion
 
First, three examples are presented, as aids to help in understanding the Arrhenius equation and the diffusion problem:
 
The problem is solved using an MS Excel file, and charts are included.  
 
A Matlab program to calculate probabilities of success for 10 flips of a coin.
Instructions: save these programs in your Matlab work directory (hit the button with the ellipses (...) at the top of the Matlab window, in order to choose your work directory). Then write 'binomial' in the Matlab command window, and hit the 'enter' key... a plot (figure) with results should appear.
Main program: binomial.m -- this is the main program to execute from the command window
Auxiliary Matlab function:  factorial.m -- this is a small function that must be available in the same work directory where the main program 'binomial.m' has been saved.
 
The program shows a solution to the problem of diffusion through an interface, at a given time after contact.
 
This program shows how the concentration changes with time, on both sides of a material interface
