Here is a precise problem for a physics student to solve on mass transfer and diffusion in fluids:

"Suppose there is a container filled with water and a solute is added to the water at a concentration of 2 g/L. After 30 minutes, the concentration of the solute is measured to be 1.5 g/L at the top of the container and 1 g/L at the bottom of the container. Calculate the mass transfer coefficient for the solute in the water."
