– Since mass is transferred by two means:
• concentration differences
• and convection differences from density differences
• For binary system with constant Vz,

• Pore diffusivity
– Diffusion of molecules within pores of porous
solids
– Knudsen diffusion for gases in cylindrical pores
• Pore diameter smaller than mean free path, and
density of gas is low
