The contribution and signification of viscous flow in nonisobaric gaseous diffusion through porous solids
Numerical studies of mass diffusion through porous materials were carried out for a two-component mixt. of Ar and CH4 gases. Using the generalized dusty gas model, an assessment of viscous flow contribution was performed. Reversing of molar fluxes were obsd. for certain pore diam. even at fixed transmembrane pressure difference. A method for detg. the diam. was given. A simplified method for detg. av. viscosity of gaseous mixts. was proposed and assessed. Presented model equations are valid for multicomponent diffusion.
