Fluctuating Hydrodynamics and Debye-H\"uckel-Onsager Theory for Electrolytes

Statistical Mechanics 2018-08-24 v1

Abstract

We apply fluctuating hydrodynamics to strong electrolyte mixtures to compute the concentration corrections for chemical potential, diffusivity, and conductivity. We show these corrections to be in agreement with the limiting laws of Debye, H\"uckel, and Onsager. We compute explicit corrections for a symmetric ternary mixture and find that the co-ion Maxwell-Stefan diffusion coefficients can be negative, in agreement with experimental findings.
