A question about Materials Science and Engineering!!?

Question

" Briefly explain the concept of steady state as it applies to

diffusion."

Please help me!!

Thanks a lot!!!

Answer 1

steady state means "the balanced state" it is when there is effectively no more diffusion.

Answer 2

disagree (but what should a baby hardly out of nappies know about diffusion anyway)

you can have a diffusion process that produces
a steady flow of say, clean water

so the steady state is when rates of change tend to zero
