Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The theory of thermal energy converters based on polyelectrolyte hydrogels has been developed. The possibility of providing the circulation of a fluid in the contour by controlled variations of the local value of concentrations of the mobile ions that cause an osmotic pressure gradient was shown. On the basis of the solution of motion equations of the mobile ions the numerical estimates of parameters of proposed type of circulation contour are given.
