Instead, n-dodecane(C12) diffuses faster than n-octane(C8) with two orders of magnitude. An preliminary one-dimensional model implementing window effect was later developed by Nitsche and Wei (1991) to study the diffusion of normal alkanes in zeolites. In this work, a two-dimensional configurational diffusion model incoperated with reasonable potential model of interaction between diffusion molecules and zeolite is developed. Calculation was performed and checked against the results in Nitsche and Wei (1991) and Gorring (1973). Similar result was also obtained in Ruckenstein and Lee(1976). Satisfactory agreement varifies the correctness of this research.
