Diffusion Flashcards
The fick’s law of diffusion gives the rate of diffusion based on
concentration driving force
In steady-state equimolar counterdiffusion,
NA = -NB; NA+NB = 0
The enrichment of ethyl alcohol in the vapor phase from an aqueous ethyl alcohol solution during rectification is an example of
Equimolar counterdiffusion
Ammonia being absorbed from air into water is an example of
Steady State Uicomponent Diffusion
For a gas phase, unicomponent diffusion through a gas-liquid interface will likely occur if
one component is soluble and the other is not
Molecular Diffusivity of a liquid
Increases with temperature
It represents the total mass transferred to mass transferred by molecular diffusion
Sherwood number
Rate of mass transfer in liquid
NA=Kc(CA2-CA1)
