Ficks Law for Molecular


Diffusion
Example
A mixture of He and N2 gas is collected
in a pipe at 298 K and 1 atm total
pressure which is constant throughout.
At one end of the pipe at point 1 the
partial pressure pA1 of He is 0.60 atm
and at the other end 0.2 m pA2 = 0.20
atm. Calculate the flux of He at steady
state if DAB of the He-N2 mixture is

Molecular Diffusion in Gases


Example
A large tank filled with a mixture of methane and air is
connected to a second tank filled with a different
composition of methane and air. Both tanks are at 100
kN/m2 and 0C. The connection between the tanks is a
tube of 2 mm inside diameter and 150 mm long.
Calculate the steady state rate of transport of methane
through the tube when the concentration of methane is
90 mole percent in one tank and 5 mole percent in the
other. Assume that transport between the tanks is by
molecular diffusion. The mass diffusivity of methane in
air at 0C and 100 kN/m2 is 1.57 x 10-5 m2/s.
