Abstract
The computational algorithm for calculating rates of mass transfer in multicomponent mixtures using the film model proposed by Krishna and Standart can be unstable for certain physical processes. Successful prediction of the molar fluxes can usually be achieved by evaluating the diffusive fluxes at the appropriate position on the diffusion path.Keywords
