Notes:
The development of a concentration gradient along the vertical axis of a column of quiescent solution is explained within the framework of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. The formulae derived enabled us to determine explicitly the concentration difference between two vertical levels in a liquid column and specific conditions under which the concentration profile is at equilibrium. The concept of solute cluster formation in a supersaturated solution is consistent with the presented theory although the theory itself does not provide any direct or indirect proof of the occurrence of clustering.
