WHAT DOES DIFFUSION COEFFICIENT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Mass diffusivity

Diffusivity or diffusion coefficient is a proportionality constant between the molar flux due to molecular diffusion and the gradient in the concentration of the species. Diffusivity is encountered in Fick's law and numerous other equations of physical chemistry. The diffusivity is generally prescribed for a given pair of species and pairwise for a multi-species system. The higher the diffusivity, the faster they diffuse into each other. Typically, a compound's diffusion coefficient is ~10,000× as great in air as in water. Carbon dioxide in air has a diffusion coefficient of 16 mm2/s, and in water its diffusion coefficient is 0.0016 mm2/s. Diffusivity has an SI unit of m2/s. In CGS units it is given in cm2/s.

Definition of diffusion coefficient in the English dictionary

The definition of diffusion coefficient in the dictionary is the rate at which a diffusing substance is transported between opposite faces of a unit cube of a system when there is unit concentration difference between them D Also called: diffusivity.
