title: Electrokinetic energy conversion by aqueous oxalic acid, citric acid, ascorbic acid, hippuric acid, and acetyl salicylic acid across urinary bladder membranes.
abstract: Efficiency of energy conversion for electro-osmosis and streaming potential and the degree of coupling of acids across urinary bladder membranes of goat have been computed using non-equilibrium thermodynamic theory. The energy conversion maxima and degree of coupling for acids responsible for the formation of urinary calculi are found to be much low as compared to urea and urine.
