difusiviteet
Difusiviteet, often symbolized by the Greek letter alpha ($\alpha$), is a fundamental property in physics and materials science that quantifies the rate at which heat diffuses through a material. It is a measure of how quickly a material's temperature changes when subjected to a temperature gradient. Mathematically, difusiviteet is defined as the thermal conductivity ($\lambda$) of a material divided by the product of its density ($\rho$) and its specific heat capacity ($c_p$). This relationship can be expressed by the formula $\alpha = \frac{\lambda}{\rho c_p}$.
A high difusiviteet indicates that heat will propagate rapidly through the material, meaning temperature changes will
