[Gr. ?, equiv. to ? impulse, fr. ? to
push.] (Chemical Physics)
(a) The tendency in fluids to mix, or become equably
diffused, when in contact. It was first observed between
fluids of differing densities, and as taking place
through a membrane or an intervening porous structure.
The more rapid flow from the thinner to the thicker fluid
was then called endosmose, and the opposite, slower
current, exosmose. Both are, however, results of the same
force. Osmose may be regarded as a form of molecular
attraction, allied to that of adhesion.
(b) The action produced by this tendency.
{Electric osmose}, or {Electric endosmose} (Elec.), the
transportation of a liquid through a porous septum by the
action of an electric current.
