We report electrokinetic streaming potential detection in a microchannel. Streaming potential, one of the representative electrokinetic phenomena, becomes noticeable either when the channel size reduces or when the concentration of electrolyte reduces. We suggest a triangular-shaped microchannel to enhance streaming potential. The triangular-shaped microchannel shows better performance than the straight one in terms of streaming potential. Couple of possible methods to enhance streaming potential is also discussed. Moreover, this type of channel and phenomenon can be applied to biological sensor application and energy transduction.

Measurements of streaming potential can provide a means for the detection and quantification of contaminants in groundwater prior to remediation. However, laboratory determinations of specific electrolyte properties are required for an adequate analysis of the hydraulic gradient in complex situations. Data obtained for the King River in Tasmania confirm a linear relationship linking streaming potential data and hydraulic gradients. Laboratory samples at low concentration (0.001M KCl) indicate values in the range 20-80 mV/cm of water pressure, while for higher concentrations (0.01M KCl) values are less than 25 mV/cm. Similar ion concentrations are observed in the King River, consistent with field correlations indicating values for streaming potential close to 15 mV/cm. In-situ fluid samples are required for more detailed analysis of local anomalies that may be associated with variations in recharge and migration of contaminants.

하전된 마이크로채널의 전기이중층에서 계면동전기 흐름에 의해 발생되는 흐름전위는 일반적 Helmholtz-Smoluchowski 관계식으로부터 중공사 멤브레인 기공의 제타전위를 결정하는데 적용된다. 흐름전위는 실제 운전상황이나 물리화학적 조건에서의 표면특성 및 기공과 입자간 상호작용에 대한 유용한 실시간 정보를 제공함이 알려져 있다. 무리화학적 인자들이 주공사에 의한 여과에 미치는 영향을 투과플럭스와 흐름전위의 동시적 모니터링으로 고찰하였다. 특히, 본 연구에서는 중공사의 위치에 따른 흐름전위를 측정함으로써 중공사 길이 방향과 멤부레인 오염 진행에 따라 달라지는 케이크층 효과를 규명하는 실험방법을 다루었다. 실험결과, 입자농도가 증가할수록 투과플럭스는 감소하나 흐름전위는 증가하였다. 입자농도가 증가하면서 케이크층 성장은 활발하지만 쌓인 하전 입자들의 표면전하 효과로 흐름전위는 증가한 것이다. 용액의 이온화 세기를 KCI 0.1 mM에서 10mM로 증가하면 투과플럭스와 흐름전위가 함께 감소하였다. 이는, 이온화 세기의 증가로 라텍스입자 주위의 Debye 길이 감소로 치밀한 케이크층이 형성되고, 전기이중층의 얇아진 확산층에 의한 이온흐름의 약화로 흐름전위는 감소한 것을 판단된다.

Self-potential (SP) surveys measure naturally occurring differences in electrical potential in the absence of artificial sources and have been applied to various fields since the first application in mineral explorations. Among various causes of SP occurrences, streaming potential is generated by the flow of groundwater, and makes SP surveys suitable for the exploration of groundwater table fluctuation, fractures, sinkholes and landslide occurrences. Recently, there has been many studies that applied SP surveys to monitor water leakage through dikes and embankments. In this review paper, we first review the characteristics and theoretical backgrounds of streaming potential in saturated or unsaturated porous media to introduce it in the embankment among various application field. After the review of the background theory, we review the past cases of field SP surveys on dikes and embankments and also the characteristics of field streaming potential data in the surveys. Further, by analyzing past studies of qualitative as well as quantitative interpretation of SP survey data, we show the possibility of quantitative interpretation of streaming potential data obtained on dikes and embankments. Consequently, it is hope that this review paper helps researches on SP surveys on dikes and embankments, and provides basis for interpretation methods of the SP data to identify leaked area and further leakage rate (or permeability).

Microfiltration with in-line rapid coagulation for drinking water production was examined. The in-line rapid coagulation was conducted using newly developed mixing device instantaneous flash mixer. The flux decline during membrane filtration was monitored with coagulant dosage varied. Flux decline was minimized at 1.1mg/L of coagulant dosage, where streaming potential of coagulated water was near zero. The optimum dosage for the process control was explained by dimensionless distance (${\kappa}{\times}a$) of particle pairs, obtained from electrophoresis parameter describing electrostatic repulsion relative to Van der Waals energy between particle pairs in the pre-coagulated water.

하전된 멤브레인 미세기공으로 유체가 흐르는 경우는 계면동전기 효과가 작용하게 된다. 비선형 Poisson-Boltzmann 전기장과 흐름에 의해 유발되는 전기장 사이의 정전상호작용을 운동방정식의 외부작용 힘으로 고려하였다. 유한차분법으로 정전위 분포를 우선 산출하고, 이어서 Green 함수로 슬릿형 기공에 대한 Navier-Stokes 식의 해석해를 구하였다. 계면동전기적 유동에 의한 흐름전위를 관련된 물리화학적 인자들의 함수로 유도되는 해석적인 명확한 표현으로 제시하였다. 전기이중층, 표면전위, 그리고 기공벽면의 하전조건의 영향에 따른 유속분포와 흐름전위 변화를 고찰하였다 계산결과, 전기이중층 두께나 표면전위가 증가함에 따라 평균유속은 감소하는 반면에 흐름전위는 증가하였다.

계면동전위라 불리는 제타전위(zeta potential)란 표면 전하적 특성을 정량화 한 값으로 전기동역학적 현상으로 발생하는 전위차를 말한다. 제타전위는 막오염(fouling)과 표면전하 분석을 통한 개질 확인 및 치환기 확인에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되어 왔다. 그리고 제타전위를 측정하는 방법으로는 전기영동(electrophoresis), 전기삼투(eletrosmosis), 유동전위(streaming potential)를 기초로 개발되었고, 그중에서도 평막은 유동전위 측정이 적합하다고 알려졌다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 poly(styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene) 고분자에 암모늄을 도입하여 아민화된 SEBS 평막 형택의 분리막을 제조하고, 계면동전위 측정기를 이용하여 제조된 분리막들의 유동전위를 측정하여 결과를 분석하였다.

The static electricity by thinner flow and discharge energy is investigated experimentally for the purpose of preventing the electrostatic discharge and damage. Test system for evaluating streaming electrification consists of a teflon pipe, a reservoir tank a pump, flowmeters and an electrometer. When dielectric liquid flows through a pipe from one vessel to another, the potential difference generated in the collecting vessel is due to the accumulation of charges. These charges result from the convection of a part of the electrical double layer existing in the tube at the contact between the liquid and the inner wall. When the fluid velocity increases, the electric current increases proportionally. The charging current and accumulated charges by streaming electrification at the thinner velocity of 40cm/s are measured a range of 5 nA and $0.27{\mu}C$ respectively. This amount of static discharge energy generated by streaming electrification is enough to ignite flammable solvent. Therefore surface electric potential should decrease by using electrostatic shielding and ground.

The present study is devoted to the validation of a new method for in line electrokinetic characterisation of deposits on membrane surfaces. This method is based upon simultaneous measurements of transversal streaming potential and permeates flux at constant pressure before and during the deposit formation. Dead-end filtration experiments were conducted with negative flat membranes forming a narrow slit channel, negative hollow fiber membranes and mono-dispersed suspensions of (negatively charged) polystyrene latex and (positively charged) melamine particles at various concentrations. It was observed that the overall streaming potential coefficient increased in absolute value with the deposited latex quantity, whereas it decreased and changed of sign during the filtration of melamine suspensions. By considering a resistance-in-series model, the streaming potential coefficient of the single deposit ($SP_d$) was deduced from the electrokinetic and hydraulic measurements. The independence of $SP_d$ with respect to growth kinetics validates the measurement method and the reliability of the proposed procedure for calculating $SP_d$. It was found that $SP_d$ levelled off much more quickly when filtration was performed through the slit channel. This different behaviour could result from a non-uniform distribution of the deposit thickness along the membrane given that the position of measuring electrodes is different between the two cells.

This paper intends to shed light on how the advent of streaming services pioneered by Netflix has been affecting the media landscape in the U.S. by looking at Disney's entry into streaming services and what effects this might have had. The paper first looks at the rise of Netflix, the disruptive impact it had on cable and film businesses, and the challenges this has posed to traditional media conglomerates like Disney. In this context, the paper examines Disney's decision to enter into streaming services as a move to counter both these challenges and Netflix's growing power. Finally, the paper notes the changes Disney's entry is likely to bring about, notably the continued disruption of film and television as streaming business expands, as well as the potential of Disney's streaming services to challenge Netflix and further strengthen its media empire.
