Hi!

I am studying the diffusion of CO2, can anyone tell me the value (or/and any references) of the diffusion coefficient (and/or mean thermal speed and mean free path) of CO2 in normal air?

Many Many and a hundred many thanks!

Raymond

Anyway, here is a useful (I think) site to help you.
Good luck with your studies!
