A-level Physics/Health Physics/Transport Phenomenon


  • In physics, chemistry, biology and engineering, a transport phenomenon is any of various mechanisms by which particles or quantities move from one place to another.
  • The laws which govern transport connect a flux with a "motive force".
  • Three common examples of transport phenomena are diffusion, convection, and radiation.
