    …components and is called the diffusion coefficient, D12, for that gas pair. This relationship between the flow rate and the concentration difference is called Fick’s law of diffusion. The SI units for the diffusion coefficient are square metres per second (m2/s). Diffusion, even in gases, is an extremely slow process,…
