The equation, NA = (DAB . Pt /RTZ . PBM) (PA1 - PA2) is for_______________________?

Correct answer: B. Steady state diffusion for stagnant case

  • A. Fick's second law of diffusion
  • B. Steady state diffusion for stagnant case
  • C. Liquid M.T.C. by Higbie penetration theory
  • D. None of these

Explanation

The factor P_t/P_BM is characteristic of diffusion of A through stagnant, non-diffusing B, while the concentration driving force appears as the partial-pressure difference. It therefore represents steady-state equimolar-free diffusion with a stagnant component, not Fick's second law.
