This thesis reports a study of recently proposed novel hybrid energy conversion technique using a combined principle of electrokinetic (EK) and forward osmosis (FO). The proposed FO-EK energy conversion technique has been demonstrated by using a stack system comprising two submodules, a FO submodule...
