Mason–Weaver equation
The Mason–Weaver equation (named after Max Mason and Warren Weaver) describes the sedimentation and diffusion of solutes under a uniform force, usually a gravitational field. Assuming that the gravitational field is aligned in the ''z'' direction (Fig. 1), the Mason–Weaver equation may be written
:
\frac =
D \frac

where ''t'' is the time, ''c'' is the solute concentration (moles per unit length in the ''z''-direction), and the parameters ''D'', ''s'', and ''g'' represent the solute diffusion constant, sedimentation coefficient and the (presumed constant) acceleration of gravity, respectively.
The Mason–Weaver equation is complemented by the boundary conditions
:
D \frac + s g c = 0

at the top and bottom of the cell, denoted as z_ and z_, respectively (Fig. 1). These boundary conditions correspond to the physical requirement that no solute pass through the top and bottom of the cell, i.e., that the flux there be zero. The cell is assumed to be rectangular and aligned with
the Cartesian axes (Fig. 1), so that the net flux through the side walls is likewise
zero. Hence, the total amount of solute in the cell
:
N_ = \int_} dz \ c(z, t)

is conserved, i.e., dN_/dt = 0.
==Derivation of the Mason–Weaver equation==

A typical particle of mass ''m'' moving with vertical velocity ''v'' is acted upon by three forces (Fig. 1): the
drag force f v, the force of gravity m g and the buoyant force \rho V g, where ''g'' is the acceleration of gravity, ''V'' is the solute particle volume and \rho is the solvent density. At equilibrium (typically reached in roughly 10 ns for molecular solutes), the
particle attains a terminal velocity v_ where the three forces are balanced. Since ''V'' equals the particle mass ''m'' times its partial specific volume \bar, the equilibrium condition may be written as
:
f v_ = m (1 - \bar \rho) g \ \stackrel\ m_ g

where m_ is the buoyant mass.
We define the Mason–Weaver sedimentation coefficient s \ \stackrel\ m_ / f = v_/g. Since the drag coefficient ''f'' is related to the diffusion constant ''D'' by the Einstein relation
:
D = \frac
,
the ratio of ''s'' and ''D'' equals
:
\frac = \frac T}

where k_ is the Boltzmann constant and ''T'' is the temperature in kelvins.
The flux ''J'' at any point is given by
:
J = -D \frac - v_ c
= -D \frac - s g c.

The first term describes the flux due to diffusion down a concentration gradient, whereas the second term
describes the convective flux due to the average velocity v_ of the particles. A positive net flux out of a small volume produces a negative change in the local concentration within that volume
:
\frac = -\frac.

Substituting the equation for the flux ''J'' produces the Mason–Weaver equation
:
\frac =
D \frac.
