Notes:
The differential equation that describes the mass balance of a solvent which diffuses in a shrinking or swelling body is transformed in order to fix the domain of integration and a numerical solution is given. The numerical results obtained differ significantly from the solution of the equation without volume change commonly used in literature. Hence, the new equation could affect substantially the fields of drying, dyeing ion exchange, diffusion in polymers, and solid-liquid extraction.
