What is Diffusion ?
Diffusion, process resulting from random motion of molecules by which there is a net flow of matter from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.It is also known as 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.
How to Calculate Life of Element in Fluid?
Life of Element in Fluid calculator uses Life of Element of Fluid = (Size of Element)^2/Diffusion Coefficient of Flow to calculate the Life of Element of Fluid, Life of Element in Fluid refers to the time that a fluid element or tracer spends inside a reactor or a system, in the context of Residence Time Distribution (RTD) in Chemical Reaction Engineering. Life of Element of Fluid is denoted by t symbol.
How to calculate Life of Element in Fluid using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Life of Element in Fluid, enter Size of Element (DEl) & Diffusion Coefficient of Flow (Df) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Life of Element in Fluid calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.8E-9 = (4E-05)^2/0.876.
