//! Class DustyGasTransport implements the Dusty Gas model for transport in porous media.
/*!
 * As implemented here, only species transport is handled. The viscosity,
 * thermal conductivity, and thermal diffusion coefficients are not implemented.
 *
 * The dusty gas model includes the effects of Darcy's law. There is a net flux
 * of species due to a pressure gradient that is part of Darcy's law.
 *
 * The dusty gas model expresses the value of the molar flux of species
 * @f$ k @f$, @f$ J_k @f$ by the following formula.
 *
 * @f[
 *     \sum_{j \ne k}{\frac{X_j J_k - X_k J_j}{D^e_{kj}}} + \frac{J_k}{\mathcal{D}^{e}_{k,knud}} =
 *             - \nabla C_k  - \frac{C_k}{\mathcal{D}^{e}_{k,knud}} \frac{\kappa}{\mu} \nabla p
 * @f]
 *
 * @f$ j @f$ is a sum over all species in the gas.
 *
 * The effective Knudsen diffusion coefficients are given by the following form
 *
 * @f[
 *    \mathcal{D}^e_{k,knud} =  \frac{2}{3} \frac{r_{pore} \phi}{\tau} \left( \frac{8 R T}{\pi W_k}  \right)^{1/2}
 * @f]
 *
 * The effective knudsen diffusion coefficients take into account the effects of
 * collisions of gas-phase molecules with the wall.
