Abstract
Fick diffusion and thermodiffusion coefficients of multicomponent mixtures are known to depend on the frame of reference adopted for the mass fluxes. This paper further elucidates a recent proposal on how to define mass- and thermodiffusion coefficients that are independent of the frame of reference. The primary purpose of the paper is to emphasize the simplicity and convenience of using such frame-independent mass- and thermodiffusion coefficients.

Appendix: Volume-Average Frame of Reference
Appendix: Volume-Average Frame of Reference
The procedure described above for the formulation of frame-independent mass- and thermodiffusion coefficients can be readily extended to diffusion coefficients obtained when the fluxes are relative to the center of volume velocity:
where \({\phi }_{i}= {x}_{i}{\widehat{V}}_{i}/\sum_{j}{x}_{j}{\widehat{V}}_{j}\) is the volume fraction of component \(i\) with \({\widehat{V}}_{i}\) being the partial molar volume of component \(i\). The corresponding elements \({\varPhi }_{ij}\) of the concentration-dependent matrix \(\Phi \) for the frame-independent transformation are [29, 46]
Equation 16 becomes
where \({\text{D}}^{\text{V}}\) is now the Fick diffusion matrix in the volume-average frame of reference [29]. Then Eqs. 31 and 32 are supplemented with [46]
While the matrices \({\text{W}}\) and \({\text{X}}\) are determined by the composition of the mixture, the matrix \(\Phi \) requires knowledge of the partial molar volumes, information that may not be so readily available.
