Dynamic column breakthrough (DCB) measurements are valuable tools in characterizing sorbents and are typically used for high concentrations of adsorptives
Binary gas-phase diffusion coefficients, of interest in physical models of atmospheric and combustion chemistry, have been measured in N2 for the homologous

Binary diffusion coefficients were measured for n-pentane, n-hexane and n-octane in helium and of n-pentane in nitrogen over the temperature range of (300 - 600
Numerous mathematical tools intended to optimize rate constants employed in detailed kinetic models and make them consistent with experimental data have been
