description

Abstract A generalization of the numerical method of Brumleve and Buck for the solution of Nernst—Planck equations when convective flux and electric current are involved has been developed. The simulation procedure was applied to a specific case: transport of strong electrolytes in a wide-pore membrane with simultaneous diffusion, convection and electric current. Good agreement was found between experimental data and computed results.
