Electroosmotic flow systems

摘要

Electroosmotic flow systems containing two or more electroosmotic flow elements which meet at a junction, at least one of the electroosmotic flow elements having a substantial charge ratio. The electroosmotic flow elements have matching flux ratios. The electroosmotic flow elements may contain porous materials whose terminal portions are shaped to increase the surface area exposed to the fluid at the junction. Examples of such terminals are illustrated in the figure.
