D = 3e-011; // Diffusion coeffcient of carbon in iron at 1000 degree celsius, metre square per sec
n1 = 20; // Number of unit cells per carbon atom at the surface of steel
n2 = 30; // Number of unit cells per carbon atom at a depth 1 mm from the surface of steel

dx = 1e-03; // Thickness of the steel bar, m
J = -D*((c2-c1)/dx); // Fick's first law giving outward flux of carbon through the Steel bar, C atoms per metre square per second
J_uc = J*a^2*60; // The number of carbon atoms diffusing through each unit cell per minute
printf("\nThe number of carbon atoms diffusing through each unit cell per minute = %2d atoms per minute", J_uc);
// Result
// The number of carbon atoms diffusing through each unit cell per minute = 82 atoms per minute
