“…From D ∞ Ũ , in turn, the molar mass M Ũ of component Ũ can be calculated using basically any predictive model for self-diffusion coefficients at infinite dilution. We have used the SEGWE model 20,21 in the present work, which is a semi-empirical extension of the Stokes–Einstein equation 64 and was found to be the best available semi-empirical model for predicting self-diffusion coefficients in a recent study: 60 ![]()
where D ∞ Ũ is the self-diffusion coefficient of pseudo-component Ũ at infinite dilution, M Ũ is the molar mass of Ũ, k B is the Boltzmann constant, η S and M S are the dynamic viscosity and molar mass of the solvent, respectively, T is the temperature, and ρ eff is a lumped parameter of the SEGWE model, called effective density, whose default value 21 ρ eff = 627 kg m −3 was used here. Calculating the molar mass M Ũ from eqn (5) requires solving a cubic equation and choosing the appropriate solution.…”
