“…This phenomenon is known as elecnamely, the existence of a local maximum in the (I, W ) troosmosis and has been widely studied in the literature, curves at a determined value of the current density. The specially within the framework of the thermodynamics of value of the current density for which the local maximum irreversible processes (1)(2)(3). The relation between the total in the (I, W ) curves occurs, I M , is, in all cases, very close volume flux passing through the membrane, J V , and the cur-to the limiting current density value, I L , obtained under the rent density, I, in the absence of a hydraulic pressure differ-same experimental conditions from the current-voltage ence, DP Å 0, is called apparent or measured electroosmotic curves (V, I), i.e., I L á I M .…”
