Mass diffusivity - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Mass_diffusivityDiffusivity, mass 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 (or the driving force for diffusion). Diffusivity is encountered in Fick's law and numerous other equations of physical chemistry .
Diffusion - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org › wiki › DiffusionThree-dimensional rendering of diffusion of purple dye in water. Diffusion is the net movement of anything (for example, atoms, ions, molecules, energy) generally from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Diffusion is driven by a gradient in Gibbs free energy or chemical potential.
