Transport can involve any of several means including pressure flow, where the materials are moved by fluid pressure, either continuously or discontinuously; centrifugal flow, where the materials are moved by centrifugal force; spontaneous motion, where the materials are moved due to their intrinsic properties, e.g. diffusion, capillarity; and discrete transport, where materials are enclosed within a moving container.","contexts":[],"links":[{"term":"analytical instrument","url":"https:\/\/goldbook.iupac.org\/terms\/view\/A00333"},{"term":"centrifugal force","url":"https:\/\/goldbook.iupac.org\/terms\/view\/C00936"},{"term":"diffusion","url":"https:\/\/goldbook.iupac.org\/terms\/view\/D01716"}],"sources":["PAC, 1989, 61, 1657.
