Transport surrounding is full of all kinds of fields, like particle potential, external potential. Under these conditions, how elements work and how position and momentum redistribute in the diffusion? For enriching the Fick law in…
Despite the fact that the theory of mixtures has been part of non-equilibrium thermodynamics and engineering for a long time, it is far from complete. While it is well formulated and tested in the case of mechanical equilibrium (where only…
