... throughout the constant-pressure diffusion experiment. The experimental setup was then used for studying the concentration-dependent behavior of the diffusivity of gaseous dimethyl ether (DME) in bitumen at 2.76 MPa and 110°C. The estimated values of the molecular diffusion coefficient are in the range...
