چکیده

A practical method for the study of osmotic- and-diffusive conversion of free energy of solutions with different concentrations is presented. Equations for effective power, dissipative power, total power and energetic efficiency have been derived for fixed membrane systems. These equations allow energetic evaluation of these systems. The significance of the method for biological studies is also suggested.

Experimental investigations of osmotic-and-diffusive free energy conversion.

A practical method of analysis of osmotic-and-diffusive conversion of free energy of solutions with different concentrations in membrane systems, which was elaborated previously (Kargol 1990) is experimentally verified in this work. A proper membrane system was chosen for examination. Equations for power and efficiency were obtained in a mathematically simple way for this system as an example o...

The plant root as an osmo-diffusive converter of free energy.

This work focuses on the maize root as a one-membrane osmo-diffusive converter of free energy. Energy expenditures of the root on water transport by radial route as well as on xylem water uptake, occurring according to the principle of osmotic root pressure, are analyzed. The so-called practical method of osmo-diffusive energy conversion (Kargol 1990, 1993) and experimental data taken from the ...

Design and analysis of hybrid systems solar, wind, osmotic for green plants using ant colony optimization algorithm

Nature has always proven that it is able to overcome its problems. However, human manipulation has led to environmental degradations. The dryness of a thousand-year Urmia Lake (a brinewater lake in Iran) is an example of environmental degradation that happened due to successive droughts and construction of dams on the basin of this lake. This study examines methods for the revival of Urmia Lake...

On the onset of triple-diffusive convection in a layer of nanofluid

On the onset of triple-diffusive convection in a horizontal layer of nanofluid heated from below and salted from above and below is studied both analytically and numerically. The effects of thermophoresis and Brownian diffusion parameters are also introduced through Buongiorno model in the governing equations. By using linear stability analysis based on perturbation theory and applying normal m...
