The diffusion equation of Crank for a finite dyebath is not adequate to apply either to dyeing with high exhaustion or to annulary dyeing. It is for this reason that a systematic study of the existent empirical kinetic equations has been made. The authors also propose other new equations, based on the equation of Cegarra-Puente, which can be used to replace Crank's equation.
