Mass transport driven by oscillatory electroosmotic flows (EOF) in a two-dimensional micro-channel is studied theoretically. The results indicate that the velocity and concentration distributions across the channel-width become more and more non-uniform as the Womersley number W , or the oscillation frequency, increases. It is also revealed that, with a constant tidal displacement, the total mass transport rate increases with the Womersley number W due to both the stronger convective and the transverse dispersion effects. The total mass transport rate also increases with the tidal displacement (with a fixed oscillation frequency) because of the associated stronger convective effects. The cross-over phenomenon of the mass transport rates for different species becomes possible with sufficiently large Debye lengths and at sufficiently large values of W . Consequently, with proper choices of the Debye length, oscillation frequency and tidal displacement, oscillatory EOF may become a good candidate for the first-step separation of the mass species.

Mass transport in multi-species porous media is through molecular diffusion and plume dynamics. Predicting the rate of mass transport has application in determining the efficiency of the storage and sequestration of carbon dioxide. We study a water and propylene–glycol system enclosed in a Hele-Shaw cell with variable permeability that represents a laboratory analogue of the general properties of porous media convection. The interface between the fluids, tracked using an optical shadowgraph technique, is used to determine the mass transport rate, the spatial separation of solutal plumes, and the velocity and width characteristics of those plumes. One finds that the plume dynamics are closely related to the mass transport rate. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Energy and the subsurface’.

The focus of discussion in Working Group 3 was on the Thermodynamic Properties as determined spectroscopically, including the observational techniques and the theoretical modeling of physical processes responsible for the emission spectrum. Recent advances in observational techniques and theoretical concepts make this discussion particularly timely. It is wise to remember that the determination of thermodynamic parameters is not an end in itself and that these are interesting chiefly for what they can tell us about the energetics and mass transport in prominences.

The distribution kinetics of 35 2-furylethylene derivatives in two-phase system 1-octanol-water was investigated. The transport rate parameters in direction water-1-octanol (l1) and backwards (l2) are partition coefficient P = l1/l2 dependent according to equations l1 = logP - log(βP + 1) + const., l2 = -log(βP + 1) + const., const. = -5.600, β = 0.261. Importance of this finding for assesment of distribution of compounds under investigation in biosystems and also the suitability of the presented method for determination of partition coefficients are discussed.

The present paper deals with the determination of longshore sediment transport rate. Specifically, case study of Saline Joniche (Reggio Calabria, Italy, is discussed. This case is of interest because, in this location, an artificial basin was built in the 70’s. After few years, port entrance experienced total obstruction by sand. Actually, the area is abandoned and several projects have been proposed for revitalising port activities. This paper discusses a method for estimating the longshore sediment transport rate at Saline Joniche and complements previous methodology.
