What equation describes the rate of drug dissolution from tablets

Dissolution is the step of rate determination for the poorly aqueous soluble drug and hydrophobic molecules.
As per the USP a drug product is believed to quickly dissolve when no less than the 85% of the claim amount of the molecule dissolve within the 30 minutes, by using USP apparatus-I on 100 RPM or 50 RPM for USP apparatus-II, into a 900 ml volume or less in all of the media, like 0.1 n HCl, a pH 4.5 buffer, pH6.8 buffer.

Dissolution rate equation

dw/dt= ks (Csat-Csol)

Where

dw/ dt = are dissolution rate

k = a dissolution constant

 S = surface area of the solid

C sat = the concentration of a saturated solution

C sol = the concentration at any given time
