Knudsen diffusion is a phenomenon whereby transport takes place by gas-pore wall collisions rather than by gas-gas collisions. Knudsen diffusion is modeled using concepts similar to the kinetic theory of gases as \(D_{\mathrm{KA}}=\left(d_{\mathrm{p}} / 3\right) \bar{c}\), where \(\bar{c}\) means
Hindered diffusion is a phenomenon of diffusion of a solute in narrow liquid-filled pores when the size of the pores is comparable to the size of the diffusing molecule. The hindered diffusion is often modeled by introducing two correction factors, \(F_{1}\) and \(F_{2}\), which are defined as
