What is diffusion in fluids?

Asked by: Corey Habersham

➢ Molecular DiffusionMolecular DiffusionMolecular diffusion, often simply called diffusion, is the thermal motion of all (liquid or gas) particles at temperatures above absolute zero. The rate of this movement is a function of temperature, viscosity of the fluid and the size (mass) of the particles.

What are the 3 types of diffusion?

The three types of diffusion are – simple diffusion, osmosis and facilitated diffusion.

• (i) Simple diffusion is when ions or molecules diffuse from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
• (ii) In osmosis, the particles moving are water molecules.

What are the 4 different types of diffusion?

• Contagious Diffusion.
• Hierarchical Diffusion.
• Stimulus Diffusion.
