Verify that the concentration profile in a slab is linear, whereas that in a hollow cylinder is logarithmic, and for a spherical shell it is an inverse function of \(r\) for the three geometries in Fig. 10.1.

Also verify the expressions for the numbers of moles transported across the system, \(\mathcal{W}_{\mathrm{A}}\).
