FAQs on Diffusion Flux

What is the formula to find Diffusion Flux?
The formula of Diffusion Flux is expressed as Diffusion flux = Diffusion Coefficient*(Concentration difference/Distance). Here is an example- 40000 = 800*(0.5/0.01).
How to calculate Diffusion Flux?
With Diffusion Coefficient (D), Concentration difference (ΔC) & Distance (d) we can find Diffusion Flux using the formula - Diffusion flux = Diffusion Coefficient*(Concentration difference/Distance).
Can the Diffusion Flux be negative?
No, the Diffusion Flux, measured in Mass Flux cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Diffusion Flux?
Diffusion Flux is usually measured using the Kilogram per Second per Square Meter[kg/s/m²] for Mass Flux. Kilogram per Hour per Square Meter[kg/s/m²], Kilogram per Hour per Square Foot[kg/s/m²], Pound per Hour per Square Foot[kg/s/m²] are the few other units in which Diffusion Flux can be measured.
