tp_dif-Transport Phenomena


The following eq, shows the flux of gases depending of two phenomena: Stefan-Maxwell diffusion, and Knudsen diffusion.

The following eqs., shows the expression of binary diffusion coeffient and Knudsen diffusion coefficient equations. This is variable modeling hypothesis, and it could be simulated as a constant or a dependence on pore size equation.

The maximum water load in diffusion layer is shown next and it depends on the density of water and the solid and the volume of solid.

The pore volume is the blank space that doesn't fill of liquid water and solid volume.

This equation shown the flux of liquid water as a dependence on the gradient of water load.

The electronic current is shown like a ohm?s law. Ks parameter is the electronic conductivity of the solid.
