Thermodynamic Analysis of Electrokinetic Transport in Micro/Nanofluidics

Xiangchun Xuan, Christian Davidson, Junjie Zhu

Abstract

Presented herein is an Onsager reciprocal relations-based thermodynamic analysis of the electrokinetic transport of fluids and ions in micro/nanofluidics. This analytical approach provides a straightforward understanding of electrokinetic energy conversion, streaming potential and streaming current measurements, and electrokinetic flow control in micro/nanoscale channels or networks.
