• At constant T, the collision frequency is proportional to
pressure due to the greater the number density.

• The mean free path (), which is the average distance
traveled by a molecule between collisions, can be calculated
from the collision frequency.

• A typical gas N2 at 1 atm and 25 oC travels with a mean
speed of ~ 500 m/s.

• For accounting for transport in the gas phase, the rate at
which molecules strike an area (called collision flux) should
be obtained.
Prof. Yo-Sep Min Physical Chemistry II, Fall 2013 Lecture 2-9
• When a gas (p and T) is separated from a vacuum by a small
hole, the rate of escape of its molecules is equal to the rate at
which they strike the area of the hole.

• The equation is utilized to determine the vapor pressures of
liquids and solids, particularly of substances with very low vapor
pressures. called Knudsen method

• Transport properties are commonly expressed by
phenomenological or empirical equations.
• The rate of migration of a property is measured by its flux (J).
• The flux is the quantity of a property passing through a given
area in a given time interval (quantity per area per time).
ex) matter flux for diffusion, energy flux for thermal conduction
• Experimental observations on transport properties show that
the flux of a property (J) is usually proportional to the 1st
derivative of some other related property.
Ex) Diffusion: concentration gradient.
Thermal conduction: temperature gradient.
Viscosity: velocity gradient.
Prof. Yo-Sep Min Physical Chemistry II, Fall 2013 Lecture 2-14
• For the diffusion, the matter flux diffusing
parallel to the z-axis of a container is
proportional to the 1st derivative of the
concentration.

• To see the connection between the momentum flux and the
viscosity, consider a fluid in a state of Newtonian flow.
Prof. Yo-Sep Min Physical Chemistry II, Fall 2013 Lecture 2-18
• Because the retarding effect depends on the transfer of the x-
component of momentum, the viscosity depends on this
momentum flux in the z-direction.
• The flux of x-component of momentum is
proportional to dvx/dz.
• As a proportionality coefficient, we use –.
