Write for the concentration of the chyme. The partial derivative measures the rate of change in the concentration with respect to time. As before, write for the velocity of the chyme (with its eddies). The equation modelling enhanced diffusion is
Here It represents the motion of the drug due
to the convection in the chyme. The term is defined as
It represents the motion of the drug due to diffusion
through the chyme. In this expression is a constant called
the coefficient of molecular diffusion.
