Problem 1. Consider the following figure: g=gravitational acceleration concentration of particle or number density is C(h) h=0, concentration of particle or number density is Co m= mass of each particle Here, the particles deposited at the bottom of a container are diffusing upward. However, the particles have to overcome the effect of gravity in order to rise upward. Can there be equilibrium in the process? If so, determine the concentration of particle C(h) at height h. I would like you to solve the problem rigorously after developing an expression for diffusive flux (J). Problem 1.
