DIFFUSION
THROUGH A
VARYING
CROSS-
SECTIONAL
AREA
- Occurs when the cross-sectional area through which the diffusion
takes place varies with the distance z. In this case, N
A
is defined as:
A N N
A A
=
Where:
A
N
= amount of A diffusing per unit time (kmol/s)
Since
A
N is constant, N
A
is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional
area for diffusion; i.e.

- For diffusion through a conduit of nonuniform cross-sectional area
(such as a frustum), the area should be expressed as a function of
diffusion length z, and the Ficks Law equation will be integrated
including this function.
MOLECULAR
DIFFUSION IN
LIQUIDS
The rate of molecular diffusion in liquids is considerably slower than
in gases.

The slope m is the slope of the equilibrium curve, and may be
obtained from Henrys Law at dilute concentrations.
For systems which are not dilute, i.e. when the solute concentrations in
the gas and/or liquid phases are large, Equations 5-274 to 5-282
must be used instead.
