Which among the following equation is related to diffusional mixing in liquid (during steady state)? (Where D, Cl, Cs, v represents the diffusivity in liquids, solute concentration of liquid and solid, constant rate and Cl’=dCl/dx respectively)

Correct Answer: –DCl = v(Cl-Cs)
Steady state itself gives an idea that the particular state should be balanced. Here in this case the rate at which the solute is rejected from the solidifying liquid should be balanced by the rate at which solute diffuses down the concentration gradient away from the interface. That is –DCl = v(Cl-Cs).
