  2. Mass diffusivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_diffusivity

    The higher the diffusivity (of one substance with respect to another), the faster they diffuse into each other. Typically, a compound's diffusion coefficient is ~10,000× as great in air as in water. Carbon dioxide in air has a diffusion coefficient of 16 mm 2 /s, and in water its diffusion coefficient is 0.0016 mm 2 /s. [1] [2]

  3. Fick's laws of diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fick's_laws_of_diffusion

    In dilute aqueous solutions the diffusion coefficients of most ions are similar and have values that at room temperature are in the range of (0.6–2) × 10 −9 m 2 /s. For biological molecules the diffusion coefficients normally range from 10 −10 to 10 −11 m 2 /s.

  4. Molecular diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_diffusion

    The self-diffusion coefficient of water has been experimentally determined with high accuracy and thus serves often as a reference value for measurements on other liquids. The self-diffusion coefficient of neat water is: 2.299·10 −9 m 2 ·s −1 at 25 °C and 1.261·10 −9 m 2 ·s −1 at 4 °C. [2]

  5. Heat equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_equation

    The time rate of temperature change at x is proportional to the heat flowing into an ... D is the diffusion coefficient that controls the speed of the ...

  6. Diffusion equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_equation

    If the diffusion coefficient depends on the density then the equation is nonlinear, otherwise it is linear. The equation above applies when the diffusion coefficient is isotropic ; in the case of anisotropic diffusion, D is a symmetric positive definite matrix , and the equation is written (for three dimensional diffusion) as:

  7. Lattice diffusion coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_diffusion_coefficient

    The diffusion coefficient increases exponentially with temperature at a rate determined by the activation enthalpy . Diffusion Coefficient for Substitution Diffusion [ edit ]

  8. Diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion

    A change in concentration over a distance is called a concentration gradient, a change in pressure over a distance is called a pressure gradient, and a change in temperature over a distance is called a temperature gradient. The word diffusion derives from the Latin word, diffundere, which means "to spread out".

  9. Darken's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darken's_equations

    Darken’s equations can be applied to almost any scenario involving the diffusion of two different components that have different diffusion coefficients. This holds true except in situations where there is an accompanying volume change in the material because this violates one of Darken’s critical assumptions that atomic volume is constant.
