Diffusion Coefficient Understanding the Diffusion Coefficient. In dilute species transport, the flux due to diffusion is given by Fick's first law, which only depends on a single property of the solute's interaction with the solvent: the diffusion coefficient. The diffusion coefficient is most simply understood as the magnitude of the molar flux through a surface per unit concentration gradient out-of-plane. It is analogous to the property of thermal diffusivity in heat transfer:
