Eq. (19) is in the form of an ordinary differential equation,


which can be solved by using the two following initial con-
ditions:

IC.1 : y1 |z=0 = y1,bulk


 
dy1  JRT 1 − αy1,bulk 1
IC.2 :  =− + eff
dz z=0 2PF D12
eff D1,k

Looking at your differential equation, I see you have a nonlinear second-order ODE (equation 19) with defined initial conditions. I'll help you set up a MATLAB solution for this problem.

Here's how you can solve this differential equation using MATLAB:

1. First, we need to rewrite your second-order ODE as a system of first-order ODEs


2. Then we'll use MATLAB's ODE solver (like ode45)
3. Finally, implement the initial conditions

Let's start by defining your system:

```matlab
function dy = diffusion_system(z, y, alpha, D12_eff, D1k_eff)
% y(1) = y1 (the concentration)
% y(2) = dy1/dz (the first derivative)

% From equation (19), solving for d²y1/dz²


bracket_term = (1-alpha*y(1))/D12_eff + 1/D1k_eff;

dy = zeros(2,1);
dy(1) = y(2); % dy1/dz = y(2)
dy(2) = -alpha/D12_eff * bracket_term^(-1) * y(2)^2; % d²y1/dz² from equation (19)
end
```

Now let's create the main script to solve this:

```matlab
% Define parameters
alpha = 1 - (M1/M2)^0.5; % You need to provide M1 and M2 values
D12_eff = ; % Effective diffusion coefficient (provide value)
D1k_eff = ; % Effective diffusion coefficient (provide value)
J = ; % Flux (provide value for IC.2)
R = ; % Gas constant
T = ; % Temperature
F = ; % Parameter F (provide value)
y1_bulk = ; % Bulk concentration (provide value)

% Initial conditions from IC.1 and IC.2


y0 = [y1_bulk; -J*R*T/(2*P*F)*((1-alpha*y1_bulk)/D12_eff + 1/D1k_eff)];

% Define z range for integration


z_span = [0, z_max]; % Define appropriate z_max

% Solve the ODE system


options = odeset('RelTol', 1e-6, 'AbsTol', 1e-8);
[z, Y] = ode45(@(z,y) diffusion_system(z, y, alpha, D12_eff, D1k_eff), z_span, y0, options);

% Extract results
y1 = Y(:,1); % Concentration profile
dy1_dz = Y(:,2); % Gradient profile

% Plot results

plot(z, y1);
xlabel('z');

plot(z, dy1_dz);
