Question: Analogous to the heat conduction through multiple layers, derive the molecular mass diffusion of a drug, A through two layers ( skin and muscle )

Analogous to the heat conduction through multiple layers, derive the molecular mass diffusion of a drug,
A through two layers (skin and muscle) of thicknesses x1 and x2, respectively, and diffusivity of the drug
being DA1 and DA2 respectively. If the concentration of the patch drug on this slab geometry was CA0 at
the surface of the skin, and it is CA1 at the end of the muscle layer, derive the concentration profile
(particular solution) of the drug across both the layers, under steady-state conditions.
