| Comments | P.164 bottom paragraph: "Even if you have no occasion to do specific calculations involving diffusive transport, it’s of interest to examine the relative values of diffusion coefficients, a few of which are given in Table 8.1. “Molecular weight” refers to the mass of a standard unit, approximately a hydrogen atom." For value of 2,000µm^2/s see Skovsen et al., 2005 PMID 16852012 p.8572 left column 1st paragraph |
