difusividad
- The diffusivity DAB, or diffusion coefficient, is a measure of the mobility of the solute in the surrounding medium.
- oxygen diffusivity
- thermal diffusivity
- diffusivity ratio
And so because the viscosity has that factor, the diffusivity is then divided by that factor.
- And so because the viscosity has that factor, the diffusivity is then divided by that factor.
Examples
-
A smaller diffusivity ratio is expected if the surround is filled with water rather than air, as would be the case for waterlogged soil.

We will also take the value for the diffusivity of oxygen in air, namely D₁ = 0.2 cm² s⁻¹, as the reference value in region 1.

Another parameter is the average effective diffusivity for the well.

Diffusivity and GB mobility of a material depend on temperature.
Academic text (2018) -
Temperature change primarily alters the diffusivity of a material, changes the CH mobility, and thus affects the phase evolution.
Academic text (2018) -
Here we assume a small patch of microbial activity with the oxygen diffusivities taken to be broadly the same in both the interior and the exterior of the patch.
Academic text (2018) -
For a non-aggregated soil, the ratio of oxygen diffusivity between a microbial patch, representing a hot spot of bacterial activity, and the surrounding soil is not small.
Academic text (2018) -
Since the diffusivity of oxygen in air is around ten thousand times the diffusivity of oxygen in water, selecting an appropriate value for delta depends crucially on the water content in the region around the aggregates, and we expect a sharp contrast in the diffusivity ratio for dry and for water-logged soils.

The thermal diffusivity of the metal allows it to heat up quickly during welding.

Etymology
The word diffusivity comes from diffuse, which is built on the old Latin verb fundere meaning 'to pour'. So diffusivity measures how quickly something spreads or is 'poured out' through a material.
