Anisotropic gas transfer through the composite membranes

Using of stochastic dynamics methods, the probability distribution function of molecules by their moving directions in arbitrary porous media, where free molecular flow takes place, was determined. It was shown that, in some cases, the molecules in the channel can generally move athwart the channel, while an average velocity of molecules moving along the channel can significantly decrease. The anisotropic phenomenon and the hysteresis of permeability through composite asymmetric membranes were qualitatively explained.
