Class
    Foam::semiPermeableBaffleMassFractionFvPatchScalarField

Description
    This is a mass-fraction boundary condition for a semi-permeable baffle.

    This condition models a baffle which is permeable to a some species and
    impermeable to others. It must be used in conjunction with the
    corresponding velocity condition,
    semiPermeableBaffleVelocityFvPatchVectorField.

    The mass flux of a species is calculated as a coefficient multiplied by the
    difference in mass fraction across the baffle.
        \f[
            \phi_{Yi} = c A (Y_i - Y_{i,n})
        \f]
        where
        \vartable
            \phi_{Yi} | flux of the permeable species [kg/s]
            c         | transfer coefficient [kg/m2/s]
            A         | patch face area [m2]
            Y_i       | mass fraction on the patch []
            Y_{i,n}   | mass fraction on the neighbour patch []
        \endvartable

    A species that the baffle is permeable to will, therefore, have a
    coefficient greater than zero, whilst a species that does not transfer will
    have a coefficient equal to zero.

    This condition calculates the species flux. The fluxes are summed up by the
    velocity condition to generate the net mass transfer across the baffle.
    This mass-fraction condition then generates a corrective diffusive flux to
    ensure that the correct amounts of the permeable species are transferred.

Usage
    \table
        Property | Description            | Req'd? | Default
        c        | Transfer coefficient   | no     | 0
        phi      | Name of the flux field | no     | phi
    \endtable
