Electroosmosis of the second kind and current through curved interface
نویسندگان
چکیده
The article focuses on the principles of strong concentration polarisation of flat and curved interfaces including the phenomenon of the limiting current. It is shown both theoretically and experimentally that electroosmosis of the second kind near the curved interface causes an important change of characteristics of concentration polarisation and a rapid growth of the current through an interface instead of current saturation in case of flat surface. At the same time, electroosmosis of the second kind can lead to such a strong decrease of concentration polarisation that the conductivity of ionexchange materials becomes a limiting factor. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

Two-fluid Electrokinetic Flow in a Circular Microchannel (RESEARCH NOTE)
The two-fluid flow is produced by the combined effects of electroosmotic force in a conducting liquid and pressure gradient force in a non-conducting liquid. The Poisson-Boltzmann and Navier-Stokes equations are solved analytically; and the effects of governing parameters are examined. Poiseuille number increases with increasing the parameters involved. In the absence of pressure gradient, the ...
متن کاملAn LCL-filtered Single-phase Multilevel Inverter for Grid Integration of PV Systems
Integration of the PV into the electrical grid needs power electronic interface. This power electronic interface should have some key features and should come up with grid codes. One of the important criteria is the quality and harmonic contents of the current being injected to the grid. High-order harmonics of the grid current should be very limited (lower than 0.3% of the fundamental current)...

A problem of reflection and transmission of a plane shear wave incident at a corrugated interface between transversely isotropic inhomogeneous and visco-elastic half-spaces is investigated. Applying appropriate boundary conditions and using Rayleigh’s method of approximation expressions for reflection and transmission coefficients are obtained for the first and second order approximation of the...
متن کاملSolving Second Kind Volterra-Fredholm Integral Equations by Using Triangular Functions (TF) and Dynamical Systems
The method of triangular functions (TF) could be a generalization form of the functions of block-pulse (Bp). The solution of second kind integral equations by using the concept of TF would lead to a nonlinear equations system. In this article, the obtained nonlinear system has been solved as a dynamical system. The solution of the obtained nonlinear system by the dynamical system throug...
