Abstract

Hydraulic permeability, electroosmosis, streaming potential, and current of pure water across a membrane having Pyrex sintered G 4 glass incorporated with lecithin, cephalin, and phosphatidyl serine separately, have been studied and the data analyzed in terms of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. Linear phenomenological equations were found valid and L′ coefficients calculated. Near equality of cross coefficients L 12 and L 21 indicates the validity of Onsagar reciprocal relation. Maximum efficiency of electrokinetic energy conversion for streaming potential and electroosmosis for membrane-permeant system has also been examined.
