    • Using molar concentrations and velocities.
    • Using mass concentrations and velocities.
  • How to convert between different units and systems (English and SI).
• Diffusion Process Characteristics:
  • Diffusion occurs due to concentration gradients.
  • The process is influenced by temperature, pressure, and molecular interactions.
  • Diffusion velocity depends on the species and medium.
• Practical Considerations:
  • Importance of understanding Diffusion in industrial applications and exams like GATE.
  • Explanation of stationary and moving frames of reference in Diffusion.
  • Impact of Diffusion in real-life scenarios, such as mixing in pipes and gas-liquid systems.
• Tips for GATE Preparation:
  • Focus on mastering fundamental equations and concepts of Diffusion.
  • Practice problems involving calculation of average velocities and Diffusion coefficients.
  • Understand units and conversion factors thoroughly.
  • Use the knowledge of Diffusion to solve typical mass transfer problems in exams.

Methodology / Instructions Presented (Detailed Bullet Points):

• Calculating Average Velocities:
  • Identify the species involved and their molar concentrations (Ci).
  • Obtain molecular weights (Mi) of each species.
  • Measure or obtain velocity (Ui) of each species.
  • Calculate Molar Average Velocity using:
    Molar Average Velocity = (∑ (Ci × Ui)) / (∑ Ci)
  • Calculate Mass Average Velocity using:
    Mass Average Velocity = (∑ (ρi × Ui)) / (∑ ρi) = (∑ (Ci × Mi × Ui)) / (∑ (Ci × Mi))
  • Convert units appropriately (e.g., mole/m³ to kg/m³, seconds to minutes).
• Understanding Diffusion Direction and Frames:
  • Define stationary and moving frames of reference.
  • Recognize that Diffusion flux is relative to the average velocity frame.
  • Use proper notation (e.g., Jx for Diffusion flux in x-direction).
• Applying Diffusion Concepts:
  • Use concentration gradients to determine Diffusion direction.
  • Account for temperature and pressure effects on diffusivity.
  • Apply Diffusion equations in practical scenarios like gas mixtures, liquid films, and industrial mixers.
• Exam Preparation Tips:
  • Practice writing and manipulating Diffusion-related formulas.
  • Understand physical meaning behind mathematical expressions.
  • Solve numerical problems on average velocity and Diffusion flux.
  • Review units and conversion to avoid common mistakes.
