Molecular Transport
“Each molecule of a system has a certain quantity of mass, thermal energy, and momentum associated with it.” – Foust
What happens when a difference in the concentration of these properties occur from one region to another?
How is transport different in a solid, gas, and a liquid?
Molecular Transport
We need a simple physical model to describe molecular transport - one that does not take into account the structural differences of the three states.
Molecular Transport
A driving force is needed to overcome resistance in order to transport a property.
Recall: Ohm’s Law from Physics 72
Molecular Transport
Flux
Define: FLUX
: amount of property ? being transferred per unit time through a cross-sectional area
Mathematically,
Is the equation dimensionally consistent?
What are the units of:
?z? ?? ??
Flux
Flux in the z-direction: amount of property transferred per unit time per cross-sectional area perpendicular to the z-direction of flow
?: diffusivity, proportionality constant
Flux
If the transport process is at steady state, what happens to the flux?

What happens when you have an unsteady-state transport process?
General Property Balance
Assume:
Transport occurs in the z-direction only.
Volume element has a unit cross-sectional area.
R = rate of generation of property (concentration per unit time)

Momentum Transport
Imagine two parallel plates, with area A, separated by a distance Y, with a fluid in between.
Imagine the fluid made up of many layers – like a stack of cards.
Momentum Transport
Driving Force – change in velocity
