With this approximation the fl-coefficient in front of the pressure gradients are replaced by a - Y.nb nb - approach is known as the SIMPLEC (SIMPLE Consistent) algorithm [239]. The SIMPLEC approach is generally more stable than the SIMPLE algorithm and does might not require any under-relaxation of the pressure correction. 

Conversely, the correct approach to formulate the diffusion of a single component in a zeolite membrane is to use the MaxweU-Stefan (M-S) framework for diffusion in a nonideal binary fluid mixture made up of species 1 and 2 where 1 and 2 stands for the gas and the zeohtic material, respectively. In the M-S theory it is recognized that to effect relative motions between the species 1 and 2 in a fluid mixture, a force must be exerted on each species. This driving force is the chemical potential gradient, determined at constant temperature and pressure conditions [68]. The M-S diffiisivity depends on coverage and fugacity, and, therefore, is referred to as the corrected diffiisivity because the coefficient is corrected by a thermodynamic correction factor, which can be determined from the sorption isotherm. 

The coefficients in this equation depend on the approximations used for the gradients and cell face values of the pressure correction. The part which stems from the velocity correction is identical to that for the incompressible case. The second part depends on the approximation used for the term which corresponds to the convective contribution to the conservation equations. The presence of convective terms in the compressible pressure equation makes the solution unique. 

At finite concentrations this formula needs modifying in two ways. In the first place, diffusion is governed by the osmotic pressure, or chemical potential, gradient (not, strictly, by the concentration gradient), so that the mean activity coefficient of the electrolyte must be taken into account. In the second place, ionic atmosphere effects must be allowed for. In diffusion, unlike conductance, the two ions are moving in the same direction, and the motion causes no disturbance of the symmetries of the ionic atmospheres there is therefore no relaxation effect. There is a small electrophoretic effect, however, the magnitude of which for dilute solutions has been worked out by Onsager, and the most accurate measurements support the extended formula based on these corrections.
