Introduction
Case 1: Equimolar counter diffusion
Similarly, M1 = 20.07.
To calculate XBM we can use the linear mean since XB1 and XB2 are
close to each other:

Example of applications:
Food Processing
Diffusion of volatile constituents in food materials through the
liquid during evaporation.
Fermentation Process
Diffusion of nutrients,sugar,oxygen to the microorganisms.
Medical Application
Dialysis machine - Diffusion of various waste products from
blood to a membrane and through membrane to an aqueous
solution.
Diffusion Coefficient for Biological Solutes in Aqueous Solution
Prediction of Diffusivity for Biological Solutes
Wilke-Chang Equation
Small solutes in aqueous solution with molecular weight less than 1000

Since the value of xA1 is less than about 0.01, the solution is quite
dilute and xBM = 1. Hence, we can use the equation;
Given that CA1 = 0.2/1000 = 0.0002 g mol /cm3 = 0.2 kg mol/m3 and
CA2 = 0, substituting into the above equation;
