Transport processes in liquids

25 Show that for fixed pressure, the self-diffusion coefficient of a hard-sphere gas is proportional to Explain in words why the temperature dependence is different for constant pressure than for constant number density. 

26 For diffusion in a two-substance hard-sphere gas in which the substances have different masses and sizes and in which neither substance is dilute, one uses the linear equation 

Find the mutual diffusion coefficient for helium and argon at 273.15 K and 1.000 atm pressure. Compare with the self-diffusion coefficient of each substance from Problem 10.22. 

Various diffusion and thermal diffusion processes were used in World War II to separate gaseous molecules from uPg molecules. Calculate the mutual diffusion coefficient of these substances at 60°C and 1.000 atm. Calculate the self-diffusion coefficient of at this temperature and pressure. Make a reasonable estimate of the effective hard-sphere diameter of UFs and see Problem 10.26 for the necessary equation.

Therefore, the transport process in liquid-filled macropores can often be represented simply by Fick s equation... 

Kirkwood and co-workers 4-47> 35>36 have more recently presented molecular theories of transport processes in liquids making use of extensions of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics which were developed for the purpose. The assumed structure of the liquid state was quite general with the principal restriction that it be composed of spherical molecules. Some further simplifying assumptions were introduced at later stages in the treatments in order to render the mathematical derivations tractable. 

Neither approach to the transport processes in liquids has been carried to final completion because of serious mathematical difficulties and considerable additional theoretical work is required before the problem can be regarded as essentially solved. 

Before proceeding to the theoretical formulation, it is desirable to review briefly the characteristic features of transport processes in liquids from the experimental aspect. It is of immediate importance to note the radically different temperature coefficients of transport processes in gases and in liquids. For example, the viscosity coefficient of gases depends approximately on the square root of the absolute temperature,... 

The present review of the theory of transport processes in liquids is confined to considerations of the primary molecular mechanism involved in these processes. Thus the questions of irreversibility of nonequilibrium systems in general and of the reciprocal relations among the transport coefficients in coupled processes are not developed. Also in the interest of brevity, the special problems of binary and thermal diffusion are not dealt with in detail. This being a review of theory, there is no attempt to present the numerous experimental studies of transport processes in various liquid systems in the past decade. 

SOME EMPIRICAL RELATIONSHIPS FOR TRANSPORT PROCESSES IN LIQUIDS AND SOLIDS. 

In chapter three we will present what we think to be the most promising theoretical model for the diffusion process in liquids and will show the agreement between its theoretical predictions and the experimental data. We want to stress that until now no satisfactory theory for the transport processes in liquids is available in the literature the theory we present here, altough it has still some open problems, contains the most important physical in sights and reproduces very well the experimental self diffusion behaviour. 

Transport processes in liquids are visualized as the motion of molecules from one cage to another with the cages being made up of neighboring molecules.
