Question: ( Welty 2 7 . 2 1 ) Consider a rectangular - shaped gel tablet of thickness 0 . 6 5 2 c m ,

(Welty 27.21) Consider a rectangular-shaped gel tablet of thickness 0.652cm, width of 1.0cm
and depth of 1.0 loaded with the drug Dramamine. The edges of the gel tablet are sealed so that
diffusion of Dramamine occurs only along the thickness of the gel tablet. The initial
concentration of the drug Dramamine (solute A) in the gel (B) is 64.0mgcm3, to provide a total
drug dosage of 41.7mg. The concentration of the drug at the exposed surface of the tablet is
maintained at zero to provide a constant sink for mass transfer. The diffusion coefficient of the
drug in the gel is 3.010-7cm2s.
