The rate of mass transfer of a diffusing substance along a pipe is augmented by an oscillatory motion of the ambient fluid in the pipe. The increase of the flux is evaluated for the cases of a circular pipe and of a two-dimensional channel. Results are given for a general cross-section in the limiting cases of slow and fast oscillations of the flow.
