Abstract

Self-diffusion along the longitudinal coordinate in a channel of varying cross section is considered. The starting point is the two-dimensional Enskog-Boltzmann-Lorentz kinetic equation with appropriated boundary conditions. It is integrated over the transversal coordinate to get an approximated one-dimensional kinetic equation, keeping the relevant properties of the original one. Then, a macroscopic equation for the time evolution of the longitudinal density is derived, by means of a modified Chapman-Enskog expansion method, that takes into account the inhomogeneity of the equilibrium longitudinal density. This transport equation has the form of the phenomenological Ficks-Jacobs equation, but with an effective diffusion coefficient that contains corrections associated to the variation of the slope of the equilibrium longitudinal density profile.

不同横截面通道中的扩散动力学理论

研究考虑了在横截面变化的通道中沿纵坐标的自扩散问题。起点是具有适当边界条件的二维恩斯科格-波尔兹曼-洛伦兹动力学方程。在横坐标上进行积分，得到近似的一维动力学方程，并保持原方程的相关特性。然后，考虑到平衡纵向密度的不均匀性，通过改进的查普曼-恩斯科格扩展方法，推导出纵向密度时间演化的宏观方程。该输运方程采用现象学菲克斯-雅各布方程的形式，但含有一个有效扩散系数，该系数包含与平衡纵向密度曲线斜率变化相关的修正。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
