Effusion Definition and 35 Threads

I could not find any derivations in the litterature, except for the expected value of the energy flux expression itself: $$\overline{\Phi_{effusion,\epsilon}} = \overline{\dot{N_{ef}}}\overline{\epsilon_{ef}}=\frac{3Nl}{2A}\sqrt{\frac{(k_BT)^3}{2\pi m}}$$ I've started off by calculating the...

Consider instead a thermally insulated container of volume V with a small hole of area A, containing a gas with molecular mass m. At time t = 0, the density is ##n_0## and temperature is ##T_0##. As gas effuses out through a small hole, both density and temperature inside the container will...

I understand that diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region where concentration is high to one where it is lower. This happens due to the molecular agitation which leads to frequent collisions and hence scattering of molecules. But I do not know what is effusion. Any help? Thanks

when the gas effuse out of an insulated container, its velocity is given by \sqrt{\frac{2\gamma RT}{(\gamma-1)M}} (irodov's problem 2.42) This leads to the result that every mole of leaking gas has an energy of \frac{\gamma RT}{(\gamma-1)} whereas we know the energy contained in 1 mole of gas...

Question: In the following link I'm concerned with only pages 1 and 2. I'm wondering if there is a typo or an error of some kind. I feel like there is some inconsistency to what the author refers to as \upsilon, \theta, and \phi. The only angle shown in the diagram is \upsilon, which is the...

In my class rate of effusion was told to be directly proportional to the mean speed of gas molecules which is intuitive and i understand. RMS speed of molecules is √3RT/M So rate of effusion is inversely proportional to sqaure root of molar mass But i don't understand how rate of effusion is...

hi guys , i did this chemistry question and me and my friends got very different answers.. so i want to know wats the right answer... a professor fills a balloon with equal molar amounts of hydrogen and oxygen . the demo for that day gets postponed to the next day and over the night 45%...

I'm working on a question where gas is leaking out of a container from a small pinhole. I have a differential equation dN/dt = (Constants)*N. I solved this to get an exponential. The exponent is that group of constants, which are A/2V*(kT/m)^1/2. Shouldn't the exponent have something to do...

Can somebody give me for mind refreshment the differences between those process : diffraction diffusion effusion ?

i know that the molecules in the "freedom" form that have charges equal 0. but i wonder why the molecules still moving to create the diffusion and the effusion? some one please explain to me. thanks:!)

effusion rates...please help! Could someone please explain to me how to do this question... The rate of effusion of a particular gas was measured to be 24.0 mL/min. Under the same conditions the rate of effusion of pure methane gas, (CH4) is 47.8 mL/min. What is the molar mass of the unknown gas?

Will someone please explain to me the laws of effusion my textbooks suck.
