Diffusion co-efficient generally depends upon the temperature, pressure & the nature of the components of the system. Its dimension is not the same as that of the_________________?
Correct answer: A. Mass transfer co-efficient
- A. Mass transfer co-efficient
- B. Thermal diffusivity
- C. Kinematic viscosity
- D. Volumetric diffusivity
Explanation
The diffusion coefficient has units of m²/s, like thermal diffusivity, kinematic viscosity, and volumetric diffusivity. A mass-transfer coefficient instead has units of velocity, such as m/s.
