Expressions for the mass flux 

(a) Show how to transform the left side of Eq. 24.2-8 into the left side of Eq. 24.2-9. First rewrite the former as follows: 

Rewrite the second term as a sum over all 13, and then add a term to compensate for the modification of the sum. Note that this change has introduced into the sum a term containing Daa, which was not defined because it was not needed. Now, we are at liberty to define Daa in any way we choose, and the choice we make is this choice enables us to obtain the left side of Eq.24.2-9, and also the auxiliary relation given after Eq. 24.2-9 is, in fact, just Eq. 24C.1-3 above.

(b) Next repeat the above derivation by replacing vβ by [vβ + (DTβ/pβ) ∆ in T], and verify that both the diffusion terms and the thermal diffusion terms of Eq. 24.2-8 may be transformed into the corresponding terms in Eq. 24.2-9.
