Diffusion is the molecular transport of one substance
relative to another in a single phase. It can result
from changes in temperature, pressure, concentrations
or external force fields. The diffusivity or diffusivity
coefficient is the proportionality constant between
the diffusion flux and diffusion potential. The diffusivities
for binary gases and liquids can be calculated in several
ways according to their conditions. For this project,
the diffusivities for gas systems according to the Chapman-Enskog
equation were calculated as well as the diffusivities
for binary gas mixtures at low pressures and low densities
and binary liquid mixtures, as seen in the Matlab codes
and sample calculations. |
