Diffusion Flashcards
The enrichment of ethyl alcohol in the vapor phase from an aqueous ethyl alcohol solution during rectification is an example of
Equimolal counter diffusion
True or Flase. The diffusivity of a component relative to itself has a physical meaning and can be measured.
True
The Reynolds analogy is applied when…
The Prandtl number is unity
The molar flux of a component A in molecular diffusion is independent of
Mass Transfer Area
The molar diffusion flux of A relative to a stationary play e is a combination of phase drift and
Molecular diffusion
The Fick’s Law of Diffusion gives the rate of diffusion based on
Concentration driving force
Equimolal counter diffusion means that the
Bulk im terms of moles is not moving
For a gas phase diffusion, unicompinent diffusion through a gas-liquid interface will likely to occur if
One component is soluble and the other is not
For a binary unicompinent diffusion, the concentration profile of the diffusiong component along the diffusion path is
Logarithmic
It provides the basis for the quantitave description of the diffusional phenomena of molecules
