Because the system had not reached a steady state and the rate of change of concentration ̇was constantly varying, we used the conditions at the start of the diffusion process where C_0 = 0 and used the gradient at t = 0 as a starting value for C ̇. |

Finding the mass transfer rate was done by matching the experimental data to an anticipated exponential response and calculating the initial gradient as described above. | Finding the mass transfer rate was done by matching the experimental data to an anticipated exponential response and calculating the initial gradient as described above. |
