Take for instance, the sense smell? While olfaction design may be invisible to the eye, it can still prove to be as powerful of an element as the rest of the set, sound, and actions. According to Graham’s laws of gas diffusion, odors travel very slowly in still air, but can travel very fast when they are helped by air movement. The expression of Graham’s law of gas diffusion is as follows: U (r ,t) = □(Q/(2Dπ )) f [r/(√(4Dt))] The concentration U (r, t) is measured in molecules/cm3. r represents distance ...
