Abstract
A general method for determination of the volume of a space in a non steady state condition, in case diffusion might be significant, is developed. Instantaneous mixing of indicators with native fluid is assumed in this first stage of investigation. Theoretical expressions are obtained for the volume of the space and the diffusion coefficient as a function of time. An analysis of feasibility of the method is also included.
