 it is Maxwell-Stefan.

I want to calculate diffusion coefficients. from EMD we can calculate the
MS diffusion coefficient that it is impossible to measure experimentally
(because it is based on chemical potential gradient that is hard to
measure) and with the thermodynamic correction factor it could be
transformed into the Fick diffusion coefficient that is experimentally
measurable. Although, there are NEMD method for calculating Fick diffusion
coefficient but it is not prefered for some reasons.
