Mass Diffusion and Thermodiffusion in Multicomponent Fluid Mixtures

Fick diffusion and thermodiffusion coefficients of multicomponent mixtures are known to depend on the frame of reference adopted for the mass fluxes. This paper further elucidates a recent proposal on how to define mass- and thermodiffusion coefficients that are independent of the frame of reference...

Summary:Fick diffusion and thermodiffusion coefficients of multicomponent mixtures are known to depend on the frame of reference adopted for the mass fluxes. This paper further elucidates a recent proposal on how to define mass- and thermodiffusion coefficients that are independent of the frame of reference. The primary purpose of the paper is to emphasize the simplicity and convenience of using such frame-independent mass- and thermodiffusion coefficients.
