Very small objects dispersed in a fluid medium and in a temperature gradient present a non homogeneous steady density. Analysing this phenomenon within the theoretical scenario of non interacting Brownian motion one can assume that those particles are driven by a spatially dependent mechanical force. This implies the existence of a potential which was derived in a previous work. From this potential the qualitative properties of the force and the Soret coefficient were obtained. Nevertheless a quantitative correlation between the theory and the experimental data were not consistently proved. Here it is presented a methodology to match this theory with the experimental data, which it is used to analyse the experimental information of sodium docecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-01-24T10:23:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "thermophoretic experimental data", "theoretical analysis", "temperature gradient", "non homogeneous steady density", "non interacting brownian motion" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
