✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The probable origin of Australian torbanite is discussed and a hypothesis is put forward to explain its structure. It is suggested that torbanite kerogen arose from the degradation of fatty matter in algae to free acids which were highly unsaturated. Polymerisation of the esters and acids produced a high polymer which ultimately yielded a tough oil‐producing rock now termed Torbanite. Analyses of torbanite ash and kerogen are given and the hypothesis is shown to be consistent with the observed facts.

## Abstract The problem of defining an average diffusion coefficient of a gas arises in the application of the film resistance model for mass transfer to systems involving multicomponent mixtures of simultaneously diffusing gases and in the application of mass, momentum, and heat transfer analogies
