Dufour effect
Encyclopedia
The Dufour effect is the energy flux
due to a mass concentration gradient occurring as a coupled effect of irreversible processes. It is the reciprocal phenomenen to the Soret effect.
Energy flux
Energy flux is the rate of transfer of energy through a surface. The quantity is defined in two different ways, depending on the context:# Rate of energy transfer per unit area...
