Models of diffusion. Diffusion in dilute solutions, steady and unsteady diffusion, convection and diffusion. Diffusion in concentrated solutions, diffusion and convection. Estimation of diffusion coefficients. Diffusion in electrolytes. Multicomponent diffusion. Diffusion and chemical reaction.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming), Work with text (with textbook, with book)
Learning outcomes
To familiarize students with physical principles, mathematical models and solved problems in the field of diffusion processes in fluids.
The student will become familiar with the principles and mathematical models of diffusion processes in fluids. The student will be able to estimate values of diffusion coefficients from empirical and semi-empirical relationships. The student will learn to solve mathematical models describing simpler problems.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of physics, physical chemistry and mathematics to the extent of at least a bachelor's degree.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination

The test is oral. The basic form of the examination is a debate on selected topics.
