Abstract

The theory of diffusion in mixtures with more than two components has been developed as an extension of the theory of Enskog for binary mixtures. In particular, the various coefficients have been evaluated as functions of the binary coefficients of diffusion. Attention has also been given to the theory of osmotic diffusion in connection with the Loschmidt experiment. The analysis has been carried through in such a manner as to be applicable to Einstein-Bose and Fermi-Dirac gases as well as the Maxwell-Boltzmann Type. The paper has been divided into two parts which deal with first, pressure diffusion and second, with thermal diffusion.
