Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

4.2 Fick’s law: ending

Course subject(s) 4. First step into heat and mass transfer

Great! You have now seen the similarities between Fourier’s and Fick’s Law. Seeing these similarities makes it simpler to understand the theory behind it and makes you able to calculate more complicated exercises, using both equations.

Don’t forget to do the graded questions, the DIY and discuss and ask questions on the forum! Next module, we will take a more in-depth look at heat and mass transfer. We hope you join us there as well.
