Many more correlations are available for diffusion coefficients in the liquid phase than for the gas phase. Most, however, are restiicied to binary diffusion at infinite dilution D°s of lo self-diffusivity D -. This reflects the much greater complexity of liquids on a molecular level. For example, gas-phase diffusion exhibits neghgible composition effects and deviations from thermodynamic ideahty. Conversely, liquid-phase diffusion almost always involves volumetiic and thermodynamic effects due to composition variations. For concentrations greater than a few mole percent of A and B, corrections are needed to obtain the true diffusivity. Furthermore, there are many conditions that do not fit any of the correlations presented here. Thus, careful consideration is needed to produce a reasonable estimate. Again, if diffusivity data are available at the conditions of interest, then they are strongly preferred over the predictions of any correlations.

Lateral density fluctuations are mostly confined to the adsorbed water layer. The lateral density distributions are conveniently characterized by scatter plots of oxygen coordinates in the surface plane. Fig. 6 shows such scatter plots of water molecules in the first (left) and second layer (right) near the Hg(l 11) surface. Here, a dot is plotted at the oxygen atom position at intervals of 0.1 ps. In the first layer, the oxygen distribution clearly shows the structure of the substrate lattice. In the second layer, the distribution is almost isotropic. In the first layer, the oxygen motion is predominantly oscillatory rather than diffusive. The self-diffusion coefficient in the adsorbate layer is strongly reduced compared to the second or third layer [127]. The data in Fig. 6 are qualitatively similar to those obtained in the group of Berkowitz and coworkers [62,128-130]. These authors compared the structure near Pt(lOO) and Pt(lll) in detail and also noted that the motion of water in the first layer is oscillatory about equilibrium positions and thus characteristic of a solid phase, while the motion in the second layer has more...

Temperature gradients within the porous catalyst could not be very large, due to the low concentration of combustibles in the exhaust gas. Assuming a concentration of 5% CO, a diffusion coefficient in the porous structure of 0.01 cms/sec, and a thermal conductivity of 4 X 10-4 caI/sec°C cm, one can calculate a Prater temperature of 1.0°C—the maximum possible temperature gradient in the porous structure (107). The simultaneous heat and mass diffusion is not likely to lead to multiple steady states and instability, since the value of the 0 parameter in the Weisz and Hicks theory would be much less than 0.02 (108). 

Here the vector rj represents the centre of mass position, and D is usually averaged over several time origins to to improve statistics. Values for D can be resolved parallel and perpendicular to the director to give two components (D//, Dj ), and actual values are summarised for a range of studies in Table 3 of [45]. Most studies have found diffusion coefficients in the 10 m s range with the ratio D///Dj between 1.59 and 3.73 for calamitic liquid crystals. Yakovenko and co-workers have carried out a detailed study of the reorientational motion in the molecule PCH5 [101]. Their results show that conformational molecular flexibility plays an important role in the dynamics of the molecule. They also show that cage models can be used to fit the reorientational correlation functions of the molecule. 

The theory has been verified by voltammetric measurements using different hole diameters and by electrochemical simulations [13,15]. The plot of the half-wave potential versus log[(4d/7rr)-I-1] yielded a straight line with a slope of 60 mV (Fig. 3), but the experimental points deviated from the theory for small radii. Equations (3) to (5) show that the half-wave potential depends on the hole radius, the film thickness, the interface position within the hole, and the diffusion coefficient values. When d is rather large or the diffusion coefficient in the organic phase is very low, steady-state diffusion in the organic phase cannot be achieved because of the linear diffusion field within the microcylinder [Fig. 2(c)]. Although no analytical solution has been reported for non-steady-state IT across the microhole, the simulations reported in Ref. 13 showed that the diffusion field is asymmetrical, and concentration profiles are similar to those in micropipettes (see...
