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:
“Destiny is an absolutely definite and inexorable ruler. Physical ability and moral determination count for nothing. It is impossible to perform the simplest act when the gods say “no.” I have no idea how they bring pressure to bear on such occasions; I only know that it is irresistible.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“... the whole Wilsonian buncombe ... its ideational hollowness, its ludicrous strutting and bombast, its heavy dependence upon greasy and meaningless words, its frequent descents to mere sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
