In engineering, the mass transfer coefficient is a diffusion rate constant that relates the mass transfer rate, mass transfer area, and concentration change as driving force: In engineering, the mass transfer coefficient is a diffusion rate constant that relates the mass transfer rate, mass transfer area, and concentration change as driving force: k c = n ˙ A A Δ c A {displaystyle k_{c}={frac {{dot {n}}_{A}}{ADelta c_{A}}}}
