Thermodynamics of electrokinetic processes—I. Formulations

1990

Abstract The phenomenological equations of electrokinetic processes are studied according to five different formulations. Transformation matrices with Haase's formulation are given. A study of the measurable character of fluxes, forces and phenomenological coefficients in those formulations is also made. The extrinsic character, if so, of the formulations is examined and a general definition of formulations established only for binary solutions is given. Finally, a review of the literature is included, aiming to clarify the possible misunderstandings arising from the application of these five formulations.
