Osmotic Pressure and Electrochemical Potential

Brownian motion, hydrodynamics, and the osmotic pressure

It is shown that the osmotic pressure of a colloidal dispersion can be interpreted as the isotropic part of the macroscopic particle stress in the suspension. The particle stress is in turn expressible in terms of hydrodynamic interactions among the suspended particles. Thus, there is a completely mechanical definition of the osmotic pressure, just as there is for the pressure in a molecular fl...

Electrochemical Potential Spectroscopy: A New Electrochemical Measurement

CALCULATION OF OSMOTIC PRESSURE USING A CLOSED SYSTEM MODEL

In this work we have used a closed system model to derive an analytical equation for the osmotic pressure of two component electrolyte and non-electrolyte solutions. In order to do so, we have used an equation of state, known as the dense system equation of state (DSEOS), for the model system. Based on the model, a new definition is given for the osmotic pressure of a closed system. Good ag...
