Thermodiffusive Effects and Multicomponent Transport in Advanced Thermodynamics - Lecture 25

Explore advanced thermodynamics concepts in this 80-minute lecture focusing on thermodiffusive effects and multicomponent transport phenomena. Delve into key topics including thermo-osmotic and mechano-caloric effects, interdiffusion in binary mixtures, and the relationships between Maxwell-Stefan and Fick diffusion coefficients. Master the principles of thermophoresis through detailed explanations of Soret and Dufour effects, while gaining comprehensive understanding of multicomponent heat, mass, and charge transport. The lecture progresses through Onsager cross effects, thermoelectric phenomena, molecular transport mechanisms in porous media, and extends into electrochemical system modeling. Engage with both theoretical frameworks and practical applications, from basic principles to advanced nonequilibrium concepts beyond the linear regime. For optimal learning efficiency, viewing at 1.5x speed is recommended by the instructor.
