diffusiophoresis in nonelectrolyte gradient; thin but polarized diffuse layer; convective transport effect; spherical particle
The diffusiophoretic motion of a spherical particle in a uniform imposed gradient of a nonionic solute is analyzed for small but finite Peclet numbers. The range of the interaction between the solute molecules and the particle surface is assumed to be small relative to the radius of the particle, but the polarization effect of the mobile solute in the thin diffuse layer surrounding the particle caused by the strong adsorption of the solute is incorporated. A normal flux of the solute and a slip velocity of the fluid at the outer edge of the diffuse layer are used as the boundary conditions for the fluid domain outside the diffuse layer. Through the use of a method of matched asymptotic expansions along with these boundary conditions, a set of transport equations governing this problem is solved in the quasisteady situation and an approximate expression for the diffusiophoretic velocity of the particle good to O(Pe(2)) is obtained analytically. The analysis shows that the first correction to the particle velocity is O(Pe(2)). The normalized particle velocity is found to decrease monotonically with the Peclet number and to increase monotonically with the dimensionless relaxation coefficient. The stronger the polarization effect in the diffuse layer, the weaker the convective effect on the diffusiophoresis.
