Modes-and-Diffusion

Estimate diffusion coefficient of carbon monoxide through air in which mole fractions of each constituents are
O 2 = 0.18
N 2 = 0.72
CO = 0.10
The gas mixture is at 300 K and 2 atmosphere total pressure. The diffusivity values are
D CO = 18.5 * 10 -6 m2/s at 273 K, 1 atm
D CN = 19.2 * 10 -6 m2/s at 288 K, 1 atm
The subscripts C is carbon monoxide, O is oxygen and N is nitrogen
