Soret Coefficient and Thermoelectric Power of Thermocells Containing Molten Binary Mixtures
نویسنده
چکیده
For an ionic melt consisting of two components and of three ion constituents, we derive the interrelation between the Soret coefficient and the initial and final values of the thermoelectric power of a thermocell containing the melt considered. We only use the general formulas of Thermodynamics of Irreversible Processes and there is no restriction with respect to the valency types of the electrolytes.

Advances in Thermodiffusion and Thermophoresis (soret Effect) in Liquid Mixtures
Recent advances in thermodiffusion (Soret effect) in binary and higher multicomponent liquid mixtures are reviewed. The mixtures studied include the hydrocarbon, associating, molten metal and semiconductor, polymer, and DNA mixtures. The emphasis is placed on the theoretical works, particularly models based on the nonequilibrium thermodynamics, although other approaches such as the statistical,...
متن کاملEquilibrium and nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of the thermal conductivity of molten alkali halides.
The thermal conductivity of molten NaCl and KCl was calculated through the Evans-Gillan nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) algorithm and Green-Kubo equilibrium molecular dynamics (EMD) simulations. The EMD simulations were performed for a "binary" ionic mixture and the NEMD simulations assumed a pure system for reasons discussed in this work. The cross thermoelectric coefficient obtained ...
متن کاملThermal Diffusion in Molten Binary Mixtures of Silver Nitrate with Alkali Nitrates
Thermal diffusion in the molten systems LiN03 —AgNOs , KNOa — AgNOs , RbN03—AgN03 and CsN03 —AgN03 was detected by means of chemical analysis. Two types of cells were used: the elementary effect was measured directly in cells with vertical temperature gradients, and the coefficient of thermal diffusion (D') was estimated from the steady-state separation obtained in convection cells (horizontal ...
متن کاملThermoelectric phenomena in ferrofluids
The application of a temperature difference (∆T) across a solid conductor causes mobile charge carriers to diffuse from hot to cold regions, giving rise to a thermoelectric voltage ∆V=-Se. ∆T. The prefactor Se is called the thermopower or Seebeck coefficient which describes how electrical energy can be generated from the thermal energy. The great majority of today’s thermoelectric (TE) research...
متن کاملSoret motion in non-ionic binary molecular mixtures.
We study the Soret coefficient of binary molecular mixtures with dispersion forces. Relying on standard transport theory for liquids, we derive explicit expressions for the thermophoretic mobility and the Soret coefficient. Their sign depends on composition, the size ratio of the two species, and the ratio of Hamaker constants. Our results account for several features observed in experiment, su...
