Activation Energies in Isothermal and Non-Isothermal Membrane Transport

  • Chapter
Developments in Biophysical Research

Abstract

Transport phenomena induced by temperature difference across a porous partition separating two liquid phases (effect of thermodialysis) has been only recently studied in its general aspects (1–7). Clear-cut differences appear between thermodialysis and the closely related effect of thermoosmosis (8–14), in various quantitative as well as qualitative aspects. On the other hand various significant analogies with non-isothermal matter transport in the bulk liquid (effect of thermal diffusion) have already emerged (3, 6, 7).
