| Description: | Abstract: "Part of the "Problems for Teachers" series. A simple, low-cost, mass-transfer experiment was developed the experiment requires very little equipment and allows students to determine relatively accurate experimental estimates of vapor diffusion coefficients. Of particular importance is the open-ended nature of the experiment, which allows students to creatively expand their data analyses and, in turn, to receive credit for their creative efforts. Details of the experiment and student work are presented and pedagogical impact is discussed." <citation>David Whitmire, Wayne Blaylock; A simple open-ended vapor diffusion experiment; Chemical Engineering Education; 38; 2; 122-125; 2004</citation> |
