Pressure Dependence of The Diffusion Coefficient
For self-diffusion in gases at two different pressures (but the same temperature), the following empirical equation has been suggested:
where:
- P1 and P2 denote pressures 1 and 2, respectively
- D is the diffusion coefficient (m2/s)
- ρ is the gas mass density (kg/m3)

Famous quotes containing the words pressure and/or dependence:
“Today’s pressures on middle-class children to grow up fast begin in early childhood. Chief among them is the pressure for early intellectual attainment, deriving from a changed perception of precocity. Several decades ago precocity was looked upon with great suspicion. The child prodigy, it was thought, turned out to be a neurotic adult; thus the phrase “early ripe, early rot!””
—David Elkind (20th century)
“All charming people have something to conceal, usually their total dependence on the appreciation of others.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
