gas transport in pores narrower than the mean free path, where molecule-wall collisions dominate and diffusivity scales with pore size.

In chemical engineering, Knudsen diffusion refers to gas transport in pores narrower than the mean free path, where molecule-wall collisions dominate and diffusivity scales with pore size. This meaning comes from Knudsen (1909) in Annalen der Physik.[1]
