Really? It took me 20 secons to read your post. What frequency is that?amy1vaulhausen said:A cycle of time can be converted to a frequency in hertz.
You're still trying to convert bananas to bicycles. Plus, as @hutchphd said, even if your could square this circle,amy1vaulhausen said:If we know the amount of time in seconds it takes a solute to diffuse in a specific unit of space with know characteristics then there must be a way to convert this time period to a hertzian value or at least a range of frequency values?
hutchphd said:I don't know how any particular frequency is useful.
1/20th Hz, of course. I'll rephrase the objection: @amy1vaulhausen you can convert any repeating time period into a frequency by inverting it, but that doesn't make it useful/meaningful. What's the real goal here? What do you think this tells you?phinds said:Really? It took me 20 seconds to read your post. What frequency is that?
amy1vaulhausen said:Thanks Mayhem, the reason behind my question is based on the diffusion rate in time.
Formula ; t=x^2/2D
see reference ; https://www.physiologyweb.com/calculators/diffusion_time_calculator.html
Since a solute will take a range of time to diffuse for a spacial unit with known viscosity and related parameters
and since that time range can be computed in seconds, then if light seconds are used as a distance value and we convert the distance to a value in hertz, wouldnt we end up with a means to covert rate to a hertzian frequency? Am just wondering if there is a standard way to approach this? A formula to use?
To calculate diffusion rate in Hertz, you need to know the diffusion coefficient (D) and the distance (x) over which diffusion occurs. The formula is D/x^2, where x is in meters. This will give you the diffusion rate in Hertz.
The unit of measurement for diffusion rate in Hertz is 1/seconds. This means that the rate is measured in the number of times the diffusion process occurs per second.
Yes, diffusion rate can be converted to Hertz even if the diffusion coefficient is given in different units. You will need to convert the diffusion coefficient to the appropriate units using a conversion factor before using the formula D/x^2 to calculate the diffusion rate in Hertz.
Temperature has a direct effect on the diffusion rate in Hertz. As temperature increases, the diffusion rate also increases. This is because higher temperatures provide more energy for molecules to move and diffuse at a faster rate.
Converting diffusion rate to Hertz can only be done for simple diffusion processes where the diffusion coefficient is constant and the distance over which diffusion occurs is known. It cannot be used for more complex diffusion scenarios, such as non-uniform diffusion or diffusion through a membrane.
