Electrokinetic phenomena are a family of several different effects that occur in heterogeneous fluids, or in porous bodies filled with fluid, or in a fast flow over a flat surface. The term heterogeneous here means a fluid containing particles.
In general, the phenomena relate to the direct conversion of electrical energy into kinetic energy, and vice versa. In the first instance, shaped electrostatic fields (ESF's) create hydrostatic pressure (HSP, or motion) in dielectric media. When such media are fluids, a flow is produced. If the dielectric is a vacuum or a solid, no flow is ...
Electrokinetics or electrokinetic may refer to: Electrohydrodynamics, the study of the dynamics of electrically charged fluids; Electrokinetic phenomena, a family of several different effects that occur in heterogeneous fluids; Zeta potential, a scientific term for electrokinetic potential
visualized induced-charge electrokinetic flow pattern around a carbon-steel sphere (diameter = 1.2 mm). Four induced vortices are shown using fluorescent particles with a diameter of 1.90 μm. The DC electric field is applied from left to right and equals 40V/cm. The dashed line represents the particle boundary.
Thomas was interested in electronics from early childhood. His wealthy parents indulged their son's interests, buying him experimental equipment. Brown started a lifelong series of experiments with electrical phenomena and began investigating what he thought was an electro-gravity phenomenon while still in high school. [2]
Contracted truckers hauling packages between Amazon facilities are more likely to engage in dangerous behavior on the roads than other carriers, according to federal data analyzed by CBS News.
A streaming current and streaming potential are two interrelated electrokinetic phenomena studied in the areas of surface chemistry and electrochemistry. They are an electric current or potential which originates when an electrolyte is driven by a pressure gradient through a channel or porous plug with charged walls. [1] [2] [3]
The electric vehicle market could get a huge influx of cheaper cars — but not fresh from the factory. In its latest EV intelligence report, consumer research firm J.D. Power projects that a ...
