Thermodynamic analysis of diffusion coefficients

  • Published:
Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

An analysis is presented of the process of diffusion of a multicomponent fluid through a solid porous medium. It is shown that there are conditions in which the diffusion fluxes vanish, and for which the multicomponent system may be replaced by a one-component system in aerodynamic problems.
