Osmosis and thermodynamics explained by solute blocking
Peter Hugo Nelson
A solute-blocking model is presented that provides a kinetic explanation of osmosis and ideal solution thermodynamics. It validates a diffusive model of osmosis that is distinct fr…
Osmosis, colligative properties, entropy, free energy and the chemical potential
Peter Hugo Nelson
A diffusive model of osmosis is presented that explains currently available experimental data. It makes predictions that distinguish it from the traditional convective flow model o…
