492.The relation among various mass transfer co-efficients (M.T.C) for ideal gases is given by (where, Kc & Km are M.T.C. for equimolar counter diffusion with concentration & mole fraction respectively as the driving force. and, Kp= M.T.C. for diffusion of a gas through a stagnant inert gas with pressure as driving force.)

  1. Kc = Kp = Km
  2. Kc = Kp/RT = Km . RT/P
