    Lecture (4) Steady State Molecular Diffusion

    Uploaded by

    Nihad S Zain
    This document outlines the topics that will be covered in Lecture 3 on steady state molecular diffusion, including: the differential equations of mass transfer, steady-state and unsteady-state molecular diffusion, convective mass transfer, and mass transfer equipment. It discusses the general differential equation for mass transfer and the two situations in diffusion processes - unimolar diffusion where only one component is transferred, and equimolar counter diffusion where the diffusion of one component is balanced by an opposite diffusion of another component such that there is no net molar flow. Equations are provided for the net volumetric and molar flows in equimolar counter-diffusion in gases and the total molal flux in unimolar diffusion.

    The general differential equation for


    mass transfer

    Two situations in diffusion process


    1. Only one component (A) of the
    mixture is transferred to or from the
    interface, and the total flow is the
    same as the flow of A. This is called
    Unimolar diffusion or one way
    diffusion.
    Absorption of a single component from a gas into
    a liquid is an example of this type.

    Two situations in diffusion process


    2. The diffusion of component A in a mixture
    is balanced by an equal and opposite
    molar flow of component B, so that there
    is no net molar flow. This is called
    Equimolar counter diffusion.
    This is generally the case in distillation: the
    more volatile component (A) diffuses from the
    liquid phase toward the vapor phase and the
    less volatile component (B) diffuses in the
    reverse direction.

    Equimolal counter-diffusion
    For equimolal counter-diffusion in
    gases, the net volumetric and molar
    flows are zero:

    Unimolar diffusion
    When only component A is being
    transferred, the total molal flux to or
    away from the interface is the same
    as the total molal flux of A:
