Mass conservation and singular multicomponent diffusion algorithms
We investigate mass conservation in multicomponent diffusion algorithms. Usual diffusion matrices are indeed singular, i.e., noninvertible, because of mass conservation constraints. A consequence is that when all mass fractions are treated as independent unknowns-a widely used approach in complex chemistry reacting flow solvers-artificial singularities may appear in the governing equations. The...
متن کاملMulticomponent diffusion revisited
The derivation of the multicomponent diffusion law is revisited. Following Furry Am. J. Phys. 16, 63 1948 , Williams Am. J. Phys. 26, 467 1958 ; Combustion Theory, 2nd ed. Benjamin/ Cummings , Menlo Park, CA,1985 heuristically rederived the classical kinetic theory results using macroscopic equations, and pointed out that the dynamics of the mixture fluid had been assumed inviscid. This paper g...
متن کاملAnomalous Knudsen Diffusion in Simple Pore Models
1. Introduction Gas diffusion in mesoporous media is often in the Knudsen regime, cross sections of the pores being considerably smaller than the intrinsic molecular mean free path. Coppens [1] predicted the effect of fractal wall roughness on Knudsen self-diffusivity K D in a channel. A " trapping " process was identified as the cause of reduction of
متن کاملMinimum Error Fickian Diffusion Coef®cients for Mass Diffusion in Multicomponent Gas Mixtures
Mass diffusion in multicomponent gas mixtures is governed by a coupled system of linear equations for the diffusive mass ̄uxes in terms of thermodynamic driving forces, known as the generalized Stefan±Maxwell equation. In computations of mass diffusion in multicomponent gas mixtures, this coupling between the different components results in considerable computational overhead. Consequently, sim...
متن کاملUphill diffusion in multicomponent mixtures.
Molecular diffusion is an omnipresent phenomena that is important in a wide variety of contexts in chemical, physical, and biological processes. In the majority of cases, the diffusion process can be adequately described by Fick's law that postulates a linear relationship between the flux of any species and its own concentration gradient. Most commonly, a component diffuses down the concentrati...
