Film Theory: k=D/S (D= diffusivity, S = film thickness).
Penetration Theory: k=√(D/πt) --> instantaneous mass transfer coefficient.(t= time)

k=2√(D/πt) --> average mass transfer coefficient.
Surface Renewal Theory: k=√(D*S) --> (S= surface renewal rate).

Flim theory by Lewis and Whitman= k proportional to D.
Penetration theory by Higbie = k proportional to D^0.5.
Surface renewal by Dankwarts = k proportional to D^0.5.

For penetration also k is proportional to D.

Film theory: K proportional to d.
Penetration theory: K proportional to D.
Surface renewal theory: K proportional to D^2.

For film theory K * DELTA C = -D * DELTA C/L.
