Abstract
By using the method of moments, the values of diffusion coefficients of carbon dioxide in high-pressure polyethylene of two different thicknesses were determined at 25 °C. The values of diffusion coefficients determined with the accuracy of about ±3% are in good agreement both with the values obtained by the optimization method, and with the published values determined on the basis of asymptotic solutions of diffusion equations.
