Direct observation of a nonequilibrium electro-osmotic instability.
We present a visualization of the predicted instability in ionic conduction from a binary electrolyte into a charge selective solid. This instability develops when a voltage greater than critical is applied to a thin layer of copper sulfate flanked by a copper anode and a cation selective membrane. The current-voltage dependence exhibits a saturation at the limiting current. With a further incr...
متن کاملElectro-osmotic flow of a model electrolyte.
Electro-osmotic flow is studied by nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations in a model system chosen to elucidate various factors affecting the velocity profile and facilitate comparison with existing continuum theories. The model system consists of spherical ions and solvent, with stationary, uniformly charged walls that make a channel with a height of 20 particle diameters. We find that ...
متن کاملElectro-osmotic Flow Through a Rotating Microchannel
An analytical model is presented for electro-osmotic flow through a wide rectangular microchannel rotating about an axis perpendicular to its own. The flow is driven by a steady electric field applied along the channel axis, where the upper and lower walls are charged with uniform but possibly disparate zeta potentials. The aim is to understand the interaction between Coriolis force, pressure g...
متن کاملElectro - osmotic instability and chaos : membranes , polarizable surfaces , and cross - flow
Despite century-old developments in the fields of electrokinetics and electrochemistry, the fundamental phenomenon of ionic transport above the diffusion-limited current across a charge-selective surface in aqueous electrolytes is still not fully understood (Nikonenko et al. 2010). Charge-selective surfaces include ion-selective membranes (Druzgalski et al. 2013), electrodes (Newman & Thomas-Al...
متن کاملElectro-osmotic pumping of sodium chloride solutions
Electro-osmotic pumping (EOP) theory and its characteristics (transport numbers, brine concentration, current density, current efficiency, electro-osmotic coefficients, etc.) of Selemion AMV and CMV ion-exchange membranes were studied. The brine concentration increased with increase in current density and feed water concentration. Current efficiency was nearly constant in a wide range of curren...
