5.3 Transport processes in gases 111 I The general transport equation: We consider the net flux of Γ through an area at = 0 that is transported by gas molecules coming from an area above at = 0 + and from below from an area above at = 0 − (where isthemeanfreepathlength). Denoting the respective transport quantity per molecule as Γ, these partial fluxes are given by the number of gas kinetic collisions hitting on ( = 0 ) times the Γ carried by each gas molecule (number density ): • Using the gas kinetic wall collision frequency wall = 1 (Eq. 5.92), we obtain 4 Γ + = 1 µ Γ µΓ 4 × × 0 + (5.102) and • Net effect: Γ − = 1 4 × × µΓ 0 − µ Γ (5.103) Γ = Γ + − Γ − = 1 µ Γ 2 × × (5.104) • Net flux (with − sign to account for the fact that the flux is directed along the downhill gradient of Γ): −→ Γ = Γ µ Γ = −1 2 with given by (see the derivation of wall above) = µ 8 (5.105) 12 (5.106) and, for only one type of gas molecules A (i.e., A - A collisons), = 1 √ 2 1 2 × (5.107) • If also varies along (diffusion), Eq. 5.105 may be recast by defining the overall transport quantity Γ 0 from the transport quantity per molecule Γ as Γ 0 = Γ (5.108) into the form −→ Γ = − 1 2 Ã !
