โฆ Synopsis
A single diffusion coefficient, D' applicable to steady-state processes in both equilibrium and non-equilibrium, multicomponent reacting systems is presented. This diffusion coefficient can be used to define the frozen Lewis number in its conventional form. An explicit expression for D' can be obtained in a multicomponent system only in the special case of a single-reaction, multicomponent system with identical binary diffusion coefficients. By analyzing an equilibrium reaction 2ABz z 2AB + Ba (of the type: 2NOa e 2N0 + 02 but with unequal diffusion coefficients) it is shown that D' is insensitive to the thermodynamic state of the system.
